ABOUT THE CENTRE
For over 28 years, Forrest Chase has been at the heart of Perth’s style scene, helping people discover and express their own original fashion. In a world of fast trends and imitations, Forrest Chase is all about individuality—bringing together a diverse mix of local, national, and international retailers, including Perth’s iconic Myer department store.
Home to Woolworths, BWS, JB Hi-Fi, and a curated collection of leading brands like Cue, Mecca, Peter Alexander, RM Williams, Seed, and Sportsgirl, Forrest Chase offers a dynamic shopping experience right in the centre of the city. Whether you’re after fashion, tech, beauty, or everyday essentials, this is where Perth shops with confidence.
Perfectly positioned as the gateway to the CBD, Forrest Chase seamlessly connects Perth with Northbridge, the Cultural Precinct, WA Art Museum, Perth Library, and key transport hubs like the Murray Street Underground and rail terminal. It’s a landmark that’s not just about shopping—it’s about being in the centre of it all.
The site’s legacy dates back to 1895 when Boans Emporium first stood here. Built by brothers Benjamin and Harry Boan, it quickly became the largest private employer in WA, surviving a major fire in 1979 before transforming into Myer in the late 1980s. Today, Forrest Chase continues to honour that rich history while shaping the future of retail in Perth.
Beyond shopping, Forrest Chase and its neighbouring Forrest Place have become an urban hub for events, concerts, fashion shows, and community gatherings. From school holiday activities to the much-loved Twilight Hawkers Market, the space is alive with energy, making it more than just a shopping destination—it’s where Perth comes together.
