Peter Hunt wins Armadale design contract

West Perth firm Peter Hunt Architect has won a $2.2 million contract to design the new Armadale Courthouse and Police Complex.

The site for the complex was purchased for $4.9 million in August last year by the Liberal-National government.

The complex, which has an $86 million price tag, is expected to accommodate an extra 200 officers with state-of-the-art facilities.

Former attorney general Michael Mischin said in December that the complex would ease pressure on the court system and allow the appointment of more magistrates and court staff.

At the time, the proposal was supported by (now) Premier Mark McGowan, who said the station would operate around the clock under his leadership.

The complex is expected to open in 2021.
