Perth Underground railway station
Perth Underground railway station

Perth Underground railway station is a railway station within the Perth central business district in Western Australia. It is adjacent to the above-ground Perth railway station and is sometimes considered part of that station. Perth Underground station is served by Joondalup line services heading north and Mandurah line services heading south. It was built as part of the construction for the Mandurah line, and was known as William Street station during construction due to its location on William Street. Perth Underground station consists of an island platform and a concourse below ground. There are five entrances to the station: from Murray Street Mall, Raine Square, 140 William Street, underneath the Horseshoe Bridge, and from Perth station. The contract for Package F of the Mandurah line, which included the construction of Perth Underground station, Elizabeth Quay station (known as Esplanade station prior to 2016), 700 metres (2,300 ft) of bored tunnels and 600 metres (2,000 ft) of cut-and-cover tunnels, was awarded to Leighton Contractors and Kumagai Gumi in February 2004 at a cost of $324.5 million. Demolition of buildings on the Perth Underground site occurred between April and August 2004. From September 2004 to January 2005, the station's diaphragm walls were constructed. By the end of 2005, the station box had been excavated to its lowest level, and in February 2006, the tunnel boring machine (TBM) first reached the station, having tunnelled from Esplanade station. The TBM tunnelled north from Perth Underground after that. The TBM reached the station for the second time in August 2006 after digging the second tunnel from Esplanade station. It again tunnelled north from Perth Underground, surfacing west of Perth station. Perth Underground and Esplanade stations opened to Joondalup line services on 15 October 2007. Mandurah line services south of Esplanade station commenced on 23 December 2007. The land above the station was developed by Cbus Property and Leighton Contractors to form the 140 William Street development, which was completed in 2010. In 2013, a pedestrian tunnel linking Perth Underground with Perth station opened as part of the Perth City Link project. Trains at Perth Underground station run at a five minute frequency during peak hour and a fifteen minute frequency outside peak and on weekends and public holidays. At night, trains are half-hourly or hourly. The station received 12,418,561 boardings in the 2013–14 financial year.

Greenhouse (restaurant)
Greenhouse (restaurant)

Greenhouse was a bar/restaurant at 100 St Georges Terrace in Perth, Western Australia. Designed by Dutch-born florist, artist, builder and environmentalist Joost Bakker, and opened in 2009, it is a "quirky, eco-friendly restaurant" concept, which has been described as "... a breath of fresh air and a brilliant example of innovation in the restaurant sector." The head chef at Greenhouse was Matt Stone.As a concept, Greenhouse had a mission to improve vastly on the ways restaurants are created, to have better design, better operation, and to be "completely waste free from the ground up". Amongst other things, Greenhouse "... has its vegetable garden on the roof, grinds its own organic flour, has walls made of hay bales and boasts a zero-carbon footprint."Both Stone and the restaurant have won a number of awards. In 2010, Stone was named Best New Talent at the national Gourmet Traveller Awards; then was awarded Young Chef of the Year by The West Australian Good Food Guide in 2011 and 2012. The restaurant was given a one star rating, and the award for Best New Restaurant of the Year, by The West Australian Good Food Guide 2011, and retained its one star rating for 2012 and 2013, but lost that rating for 2014.The Greenhouse concept has also appeared, in temporary, "pop-up" restaurant form, at Federation Square in Melbourne in 2008–09, at Sydney Harbour in 2011, and at the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival in 2012. Greenhouse also featured in an episode of MasterChef Australia series 5 in 2013.The restaurant was sold to Red Rock Leisure in partnership with chef Chris Taylor around 2012.The restaurant closed in May 2017. Managing partners of the venue claimed decreased revenue and high operation costs as contributing factors.
