South Fremantle Power Station, Art Deco power station in North Coogee, Australia
The South Fremantle Power Station stands as a large concrete structure with tall windows and industrial architecture along Cockburn Sound's shoreline.
The facility began operations in 1951 with equipment from the United Kingdom, providing electrical power to Perth until its closure in 1985.
The building represents a significant example of industrial Art Deco architecture in Western Australia, now covered in street art expressions.
The structure remains closed to public access while awaiting redevelopment, with multiple proposals considering residential and commercial conversions.
The power station transitioned between coal and oil fuel sources throughout its operation, responding to economic changes and resource availability.
