西珀斯理事会核准对其老化舞台进行480万美元的翻修,以满足紧迫的基础设施需求,改善安全。 West Perth council approved a $4.8 million renovation of its aging arena to address urgent infrastructure needs and improve safety.

西珀斯理事会批准了对其51年之久的舞台进行480万美元的翻修,理由是迫切需要基础设施,新建筑或重大扩建不切实际。 West Perth council approved a $4.8 million renovation of its 51-year-old arena, citing urgent infrastructure needs and the impracticality of a new build or major expansion. 该项目由赠款、储备金和10年贷款供资,将取代屋顶、冰板、板板和制冷系统,改用更安全的甘醇冷却系统,并搬迁冷藏室,以便遵守规定和安全。 The project, funded by grants, reserves, and a 10-year loan, will replace the roof, ice slab, boards, and refrigeration system, switch to a safer glycol-based cooling system, and relocate the refrigeration room for compliance and safety. 建筑工程可能于2026年1月开工,预定于2026年秋季竣工,可能会影响夏季租金,但不会影响目前的冰雪作业。 Construction may start in January 2026, with completion targeted for fall 2026, potentially affecting summer rentals but not current ice operations. 安理会强调立即进行升级至关重要,同时继续规划今后的扩大。 Council emphasized immediate upgrades are essential, while planning for future expansion continues. 公众对更新现有设施给予了强有力的支持。 Public support for upgrading the existing facility was strong.
