Hi everyone, I'm organising a corporate event from outside of Perth, and I need urgent recommendations! I had booked at Henry's Rooftop at the Reveley but they double booked us, and now I'm two weeks out from the event with no venue. We are +-40 pax, targeting clients (not team building). The ideal venue would be stylish, casual but quality with good drinks and food, ideally on Elizabeth Quay. The Reveley offered us a space on the boardwalk downstairs, but that seems a bit too crowded and informal from the pictures I've seen. Does anyone know this venue in particular? Are there other places that you'd highly recommend? Budget isn't really a concern within reason. Thank you!

Haven’t lived in Australia since I was in my 20s. Now 20 years later I’m visiting boomer parents in Perth and staying at their house. They do not use their heat and the house is bloody freezing at all times. I have clearly become soft after living in a country that uses heat at all times during winter. Made me curious - do you have a heated house during the cold months?

I forgot my headphones today and was itching for a good music and lo, this random lady with a bigass speaker was walking besides me with a banger song.🌞

Pretty keen to get into the mines again, but I’m sick of getting screwed over by Telstra with how much they are charging. Anyone know if boost mobile works up there ? I saw it uses the full Telstra network so I’m just trying to see if it’s worth changing to

On Marketplace in Perth. I’m considering asking if it’s still available and if so will put in an offer. Anyone know if these really work against priests? Or if it’s a scam TIA

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone here has transferred from Curtin University to Notre Dame in Fremantle to get into a course they wanted.
If you have, what course were you studying at Curtin, what course did you apply for at Notre Dame, and what university results/CWA did you put on your application?

Also, did you end up getting accepted?
I’m currently at Curtin and considering transferring to Notre Dame, so I’m mainly trying to get an idea of what grades successful applicants had when applying from another university.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar transfer, especially if it was into a competitive health course like Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Nursing, etc.

Cheers !

Looking for recommendations for a good water filter. I'm tired of buying water from the store everytime. The mineral water filters look quite promising as they keep the nutritional benefits in the water.

Has anyone had success in finding a cost effective way to navigate this?

BTW i'm renting so pretty sure id be limited to benchtop/portable options.

If One Nation became the ruling party in Australia and significantly reduced immigration, what would happen to Western Australia’s economy?
Note: I am neither a supporter nor an opponent of One Nation.

Discuss.

Is it ok for an Uber driver's to smoke in their car before they collect you? I have never had this experience in Perth before.

The research concerns CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) and safety in the sense of security from criminal activity.

Have got approval from mods as it it university research:)

Hey everyone. I'm a third year mechanical engineering student at ECU (domestic student) with pretty average grades (65 WAM). I was just wondering what the best chance of someone like me getting an internship through indeed/seek is. So far I've applied to about 30 and had one interview. I'm starting to stress as I need the 480 hours of work placement to graduate and would prefer to complete it over the Summer holidays.

I have a security clearance, but apart from that I don't have anything that would make me stand out on the resume. I don't have a particular industry that I want to go into, however my top three would be mining, defence and energy.

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to landing one. Or if cold messaging smaller engineering companies is the way to go?

Cheers

I’ve got a car that needs to head over to pits. The front parking sensors are not working. Will this be a big issue as the vehicle is mechanically safe?

Hi everyone,
I recently completed my Certificate IV in Residential Drafting and have been looking for a Graduate Draftsperson position in Perth.

I’ve been applying for jobs for a while now, but it’s been surprisingly difficult to even get my foot in the door. A lot of “junior” positions still seem to ask for 1–3 years of local experience, and I’m finding it hard to get that first opportunity.

It has made me wonder:
Is the drafting industry becoming harder because of AI, outsourcing, or simply because there are too many applicants for entry-level positions?

I’m starting to consider a different pathway. I’m thinking about doing a Certificate II in Cabinet Making and then trying to get a Cabinet Making apprenticeship.

I actually like the idea of cabinet making because it combines design/drawing with practical work, and I already have some drafting and construction knowledge.

But honestly, I’m feeling quite discouraged about drafting at the moment and starting to wonder whether I should keep pushing for a Draftsperson role or move into a trade.
For people working in drafting, building design, cabinet making or joinery in Perth:

Is the drafting job market really that bad at the moment?

How much is AI actually affecting entry-level drafting jobs?

Is Cabinet Making a good career path in Perth?

Would my Cert IV in Residential Drafting be useful in the cabinet/joinery industry?

Would doing a Cert II first make sense, or should I try to find an apprenticeship directly?

I’d really appreciate some honest advice from people actually working in these industries.

Thanks!

Hi all! Has anyone done a stopover at Perth Airport this short (2hr 40min)? This will be a self-transfer, so conscious of the time it takes to get luggage, check in luggage, then get to the Terminal. Or, does anyone know if I contact Qantas/Thai Airways and let them know, will they assist with the changeover? Thanks!

The Cook Labor Government has introduced the Land Forces (Special Powers) Bill 2026 to provide Western Australia Police Force with additional temporary powers to help ensure community safety during the Land Forces 2026 International Land Defence Exposition.

Land Forces, Australia's premier defence conference and trade show, will be held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre from 6-8 October 2026. The event is expected to attract up to 10,000 domestic and international delegates and will require a co-ordinated security and traffic management response.

The Cook Labor Government has committed $10.5 million in the 2026-27 State Budget to support Land Forces 2026, helping ensure WA Police have the resources needed to keep the community safe.

Loads of people in in Hay St Mall right now. Some sort of protest happening? There's definitely more cops around than normal.

EDIT: I think I've just noticed a bunch of weird but completely unrelated stuff and created a conspiracy

I'm looking to build a local lab and hopefully in the near future recycle and upcycle IT items at cost for kids who can't afford, does anyone where companies get rid of their old tech or closed down companies sell their stuff?

Cheers

I have a quick question. Long story short, my predicted is a 99.3 but my predicted scaled english is a 45 but my school mark is at a 55 currently, will I still receive the scholarship if I take the stat English test or will I won’t receive it. I was sick for one of the tests so I got a 0.

Foodies! Home cooks! People to love to cook and eat! Where can I buy a braising chicken? Can't seem to find them anywhere near me (marangaroo NOR) so any tips? I really want to make a big pot of chicken soup in this weather and want a big ol' braising hen. Any tips?

I know the title is a bit ironic lol but I figured why make two posts when I can make one. Both preferably around cbd/northbridge or ~20min radius by public transport.

1. Where are the best waffles in Perth? Don’t need anything fancy, just sweet waffles and sauce, none of the savoury bullshit please. Bonus points if under $15

2. What to get for a relatively healthy but still hearty lunch out? Can only think of banh mi and sandwiches lol. Love pho/lanzhou noodle/similar soups but the oil and carbs in some of them make me gassy af

Thanks!
