Public Transport Centre, Transport administration building in East Perth, Perth, Australia

The Public Transport Centre is a transportation hub in East Perth built from brown brick and concrete with strong geometric forms throughout its design. Its angular volumes and raw materials create a striking visual composition that defines the local streetscape.

The site was formerly the East Perth Locomotive Depot. A standard gauge terminus opened there in 1969 as part of the gauge conversion of the Eastern Goldfields Railway. The administration building above the platform was commissioned by the Western Australian Government Railways, completed after WAGR became Westrail, and opened by Premier Charles Court on 12 November 1976 as the Westrail Centre. Renamed the Public Transport Centre after 2002, it now houses the Public Transport Authority and Department of Transport.

The building opened in 1976 as the Westrail Centre, named for the Western Australian Government Railways' successor, Westrail. Its public concourse holds a newsagent, café, help desks, vending machines, seats, televisions, information screens, an ATM and toilets. Transwa coaches to state destinations leave from the northern end of the terminal building.

The facility operates as a major transport hub coordinating multiple bus services and passenger transfers throughout the area. Visitors can view the structure from the surrounding bitumen area, which is enclosed by wire fencing.

The structure is one of Perth's remaining examples of raw concrete brutalism and is often passed by without notice. Its design shows how this international post-war style was adapted and expressed in Western Australia.
