The Perth metropolitan region or the Perth metropolitan area is the administrative area and geographical extent of the Western Australian capital city of Perth and its conurbation. It generally includes the coastal strip from Two Rocks in the north to Singleton in the south, and inland to The Lakes in the east, but its extent can be defined in a number of ways: The metropolitan region is defined by the Planning and Development Act 2005 to include 30 local government areas with the outer extent being the City of Wanneroo and the City of Swan to the north, the Shire of Mundaring, City of Kalamunda, and the City of Armadale to the east, the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale to the southeast and the City of Rockingham to the southwest, and including the islands of Rottnest Island and Garden Island off the west coast. This extent correlates with the Metropolitan Region Scheme. The Australian Bureau of Statistics' Perth (Major Statistical Division) accords with the Metropolitan Region Scheme area. The Regional Development Commissions Act 1993 includes the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale in the Peel region instead. The Australian Bureau of Statistics Greater Capital City Statistical Area, or Greater Perth in short, consists of the area defined by the Metropolitan Region Scheme, plus the City of Mandurah and the Pinjarra Level 2 Statistical Area of the Shire of Murray.The Perth metropolitan region is grouped with the Peel region in some urban planning documents including the Western Australian Planning Commission's Directions 2031 and Beyond and the Perth and [email protected] million suite of documents. Together, the Perth and Peel regions stretch 158 kilometres (98 mi) from Two Rocks in the north to Herron in the south and are currently home to more than two million people.

Located on the western side of Forrest Place in the city's central business district, its imposing stone facade is in the Beaux-Arts style.

At the time of its opening, it was the largest building in Perth. After decades serving as Perth's central post office, Australia Post vacated the building on 22 July 2016. A franchise of clothing retailer H&M opened in its place in March 2017.

Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) is a contemporary visual and performance arts venue located in a heritage-listed building in Perth, Western Australia.

Picabar is a small bar located in Northbridge, Western Australia, within the Perth Cultural Centre. It is situated within the old Perth Boys School building, part of the Perth Central School complex in the early 1900s, adjacent to the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA) for which the bar is named.Picabar is the family business of brothers Brian and Conor Buckley, and Brian's wife Melissa Bowen. As of November 2018, it employed 15 people. The bar features an outdoor courtyard with access from the Cultural Centre, near the steps and plaza, as well as outdoor tables along the edge of the cultural centre.Picabar opened in 2012 in a disused space that had been boarded up for 12 years. The bar owners subleased the space from PICA with a six-month lease, and an option for a longer, ten-year term subject to PICA's lease from the state government being renewed. PICA's lease was not renewed, and both PICA and Picabar then ended up operating on month-to-month leases. Picabar's owners later stated that they were given assurances there would eventually be a long-term arrangement, a claim denied by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries' director general Duncan Ord.In October 2018, ownership of the precinct was transferred from the government to the Perth Theatre Trust (PTT), which terminated PICA's lease, and hence Picabar's sub-lease, with three weeks notice. PICA was to be given a new sublease from the PTT, excluding the bar area, which was to be opened up to an expression of interest process. By early November, the government gave Picabar a temporary reprieve until March 2019, and Culture and Arts minister David Templeman intervened to ensure Picabar's owners would be given the first preference in negotiations.Public outrage led to a campaign to retain Picabar, culminating in a "Save Picabar" petition on Change.org that attracted 11,000 signatures, including direct competitors and other members of the state's hospitality industry. On 15 October 2019, a new five-year lease was signed, with an option for an extension. The lease requires renovations to be undertaken, with allowance for additional alfresco space. The incident, and the "people power" that saved Picabar, received national media coverage.
