Western Australia State government confirms Perth Film Studios to open in 2026

Construction is well underway on Perth Film Studios, with doors set to open on the production complex by 2026 according to the Western Australian government.

The studios, being built in the western Australian city of Malaga, will also incorporate production offices, an art department, wardrobe, workshops, set storage, parking, and a 23,200 square metre backlot which is larger than the playing field at Optus Stadium. In total there will be 8,200 square metres of interior production space within the studio complex.

The two prefabricated modules will form the framework for the roof over the first of four sound stages which are at the core of the studio complex now being built on the 16-hectare site on Marshall Road near the new metro station.

An investment of $233.5 million by the Government has made the building of the screen production facility possible. 

According to the government's press release, when operational, the studios will support new film productions, creating hundreds of direct and indirect jobs and significant economic benefits for the State over the long term.

The Arts and Culture Trust will be the owner of Perth Film Studios, on behalf of the State Government.
