Carillon City is a major shopping centre, located in Perth, Western Australia. It is located in the middle of the Perth main retail precinct between the Hay and Murray Street malls. It is linked to St Georges Terrace by way of access through Trinity Arcade and an arcade under the Hay Street Mall. Walkways and a pedestrian overpass connect the Cultural Precinct, public carparks, the rail and bus terminal with Carillon City.

History and Development

Originally the centre was two individual arcades known as City Arcade and Carillon City. The then City Arcade was constructed in 1970 and refurbished in 1980. Carillon Arcade was opened in 1982

Sometime in 1998 City Arcade was purchased by the Hawaiian Property Group and Multiplex Property Trust, and merged into what is now known as Carillon City. On the Eastern side of the property resides a fourteen story office block.

Redevelopments

As part of the merger of the two arcades in 1998, extensive refurbishment works were undertaken to increase the aesthetic appeal of the new combined arcades.

Architectural Features

On the south-western side of the complex, there is a three storey glass atrium which also has a two storey glass spiral staircase running from the first to second floors of the complex.

Transport

As the centre connects with two major pedestrian malls there is no direct transport to the location. However, the area is well serviced by bus links along St Georges Terrace, as well as services from the Wellington Street Bus Station and the Esplanade Busport. Rail services are available from the nearby Perth railway station.
