Perth Airport Public Viewing Area

As planespotter, I recommended this viewing area, although there could be a few improvements for example the lack of public toilets, drinks fountains and adequate shade. Also I would like to add that currently the rocks are a hazard to everybody (particularly young children and the elderly) , as personally I have slipped many times on them before. The trees about 100 metres from the platform are blocking the view of aircraft taking off and landing, these could be trimmed so that people at the viewing area can see the planes where they are currently out of view.

Are you or your kids airplane lovers then The Perth airport viewing point is really a great option to get an awesome view of flight landing and take off.
The flight landing 🛬 view is good and very close to the view point. The flight take off 🛫view too is good but not so close to the viewing area because few flights 🛫 take off soon before reaching the viewing area.
The place is set in a very beautiful way. The viewing area is set in a very simple way and in a ramp style. There are few seating arrangements. But on sunny days it's very hot. It's good to bring water and hats.
It's good to check the flight times before planning a trip to the viewing area.
There are no toilet facilities available.
Entry is free but there is timing
April- September-7:30am to 5:30pm
October - March-6:30am to 7:00pm
Parking is available

It’s a good place to spot, one of my favourites around the state, although there should be some toilets, water fountains and complete views of the other side of the runway as well as the other runway by extending or building another higher level

Free parking and entry
Needs to follow the timing and warnings as mentioned in the picture below , varies according to season
Ideal for waiting for pick up while watching the airport take offs

Best spot to view 03 landings (mainly from 1pm onwards as sun will start to be behind you). Also good for runway 21 take-offs. Would be nice if this spot had other facilities though, and another spotting location other than T1 viewing deck would be awesome 👍

It’s a great place to come and spend some time. Either waiting for FIFO flights, interstate, international or just to spend time. It’s become a busy spot for all ages and abilities to enjoy aeroplanes. My daughter is in a wheelchair and is able to self propel her self up the ramp. If you have a power assist or a powered chair it does make it easier. No toilets. No fountains so bring water. You can BYO a picnic or snacks. You can BYO your chair as there is limited seating available.

Another great place to visit if you love planes and are mobility challenged is Jandakot Airport. Get some smaller aircraft out there. Picnic tables, fountain and toilets on site. Very wheelchair friendly. BYO water and picnic/snacks. There is a cafe but it’s been closed of late.

Nice setup and good for kids to see (and hear) the airplanes. A well designed ramp with some corner sitting spots.

Could definitely use a toilet block and water fountain, but it's a great spot for planespotting and good for kids.

The plane chart is very faded now. Could use a makeover.

Nice place to if you like to see planes up closer, nice viewing area

Very great setup here by Perth Airport for AvGeeks to catch action departing Runway 21 or Arrivals for Runway 03. Best to check Flightradar24 and the Perth Airport’s website for the live arrival and departures.

Just note that it can be quite windy and cold and not much shelter for sun.

Great place to see planes taking off. However the setup really could do with a refresh. Unable to read the information boards, they are badly faded. I would also be helpful if you could access information about what times the planes are taking off, or general indication to best times and days would be good

Great views of aircraft landing and taking off on runway 03. Needs toilets and more shade. Improvements to gardens recently done with huge orange rocks which kids throw everywhere. Dangerous so close to runways.
