Burswood Dome
The Burswood Dome is a large enclosed venue for entertainment, sporting, or special events. The dome is 8,800 square metres in size, with seating for 13,600 people. The whole arena is pressurised so that the fibreglass roof is suspended 35m above the ground.
The dome was expected to be demolished after it hosts its last contracted Hopman Cup in 2007. Due to the Burswood Peninsula apartments being opened, it was announced the Delta Goodrem concert in July 2005 would be the last concert held at the Dome. The WA government have since come to an agreement to hold 10 concerts a year up till December 2007, and extend the Hopman Cup contract till 2008.
Hopman Cup Capacity is 8000. The Perth Wildcats Basketball club has also played the odd game at the Burswood Dome when their regular venue was unavailable.
