PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Elizabeth Quay is part of a bold plan to revitalise central Perth, returning the city’s focus to the Swan River and providing a world-class waterfront destination. This striking 22m high cable-stayed bridge is the project’s centrepiece feature.
The design benefited from the use of a range of digital tools. The analysis of the bridge’s dynamic response to footfall-induced vibrations was successfully confirmed by physical tests of the completed structure.
Judge's comment: The judges were impressed by the contribution made by this elegant structure to the enhancement of central Perth. Successfully overcoming a number of technical challenges, the bridge will serve as a landmark for the community.
