PERTH’S first rooftop cinema has been given the green light, with the top floor of the Roe Street car park set to be transformed into an outdoor cinema and bar.

As revealed exclusively on PerthNow’s iPad app tonight, Northbridge-based arts group Artrage will start work on the project this week after City of Perth councillors voted in favour.

Under the plan, Artrage will screen movies on the top, uncovered floor of the car park between February 22 and April this year.

The group’s CEO Marcus Canning said organisers would use the entire upper floor of the car park, which is mostly unused during the evening, laying synthetic turf and forming a cinema screen out of two sea containers.

He said the tired space would be transformed into a vibrant summer nightspot, with the group also setting up potted plants and deckchairs, as well as a food and drinks bar.
