No, all the Pizza Hut dine-in stores have long gone.

Nice different pic - but I must admit had a bit of a chuckle that it had similar lighting to the Grasskeeper's "scary" render of the Waterfront.

You might have to try the same pic with the k-beam uplighting (when they do it)

Boulevard Pizza Pasta is pretty good, their pizza anyway, pasta I wouldn't touch again, had one that had a white sauce base, just tasted like flour.

This used to be my local. Never walked out of there disappointed either. The pasta was excellent (white sauce on pasta is a crime against humanity, imo so I can't comment on your experience :P).

Glass lifts, barbecues and a quiet corner for BHP

IT might be one of the best views in Perth but you'll only have 30 seconds to enjoy it.
Travelling at 8m a second, BHP Billiton's city-based employees will enjoy a north-facing view of the city as they travel from top to bottom of the new 45-storey tower in glass lifts.

Instead of traditonal lifts in the centre of a building, BHP's WA headquarters in the new Brookfield Place tower on St George's Terrace includes glass lifts on the side of the structure - with the best views in the CBD.

The company's 3000 employees started moving from their 21 locations across Perth into the 234m building today.

Julius Matthys, BHP Billiton WA vice president external affairs, said it would be the company's biggest group of employees in one building in the world.

Removalists delivered 3000 crates and 900 computers ready for workers to set up their desks, which are - at most - 8m from natural light.

As availability of labour in the state gets tighter, the company has decked the building from top to bottom with a variety of incentives to keep staff happy.

If an outdoor terrace, with barbecues and benches made from recycled WA jarrah, wasn't enough, the building has a Fitness First and child care centre downstairs.

And one of Perth's best views from level 45 is for everybody to share - a mixed-use zone with lunch areas, lounges, a business centre and a quiet area designed to block out external noise.

``We hope it will increase motivation and morale, and assist with the attraction and retention of staff,'' Mr Matthys said.

The building also ticks the sustainability box, with level five Green Star energy ratings.

THE NEW BHP WA HEADQUARTERS INCLUDES:

- 400 meeting rooms
- 550 bike racks
- 3 glass lifts with views
- 3 'crisis rooms' for emergencies
- the top 29, and bottom 4, floors of the tower
- Outdoor terrace
- Whiteboards that convert notes into PDFs
- Desks no further than 8m from natural light
- Recycled jarrah
- River views from every level

BHP in WA's biggest office move

June 24, 2012 - 1:20PM Read later
.

The biggest office relocation in Western Australia's history is under way, with about 3,000 BHP Billiton workers moving into Perth's newest building.

BHP Billiton will be the lead tenant at the new, 234-metre tall Brookfield Place tower, which is now the city's second tallest building behind Central Park, both on St Georges Terrace.

The mining giant will occupy 34 of the 45 floors as it brings the majority of its Perth employees together in the one central location from 21 offices scattered around the city.

Advertisement: Story continues below

The move will be completed by the third quarter of 2012.

The biggest push is underway this weekend with a team of 85 removalists working around the clock, BHP Billiton said in a statement.

Vice-president external affairs for WA, Julius Matthys, said the new, entirely open-plan office represented the biggest grouping of BHP Billiton employees in a single building anywhere in the world.

The company's head office will remain in Melbourne.

White sauce on a pizza would be the best bit, lick it off and leave the crust.

I think the crust is the best bit of a pizza

Kelli · June 24th, 2012, 04:39 PM

But not crusts that have been licked?

Urbania · June 24th, 2012, 05:00 PM

Depends on who has licked it ...

I'm not easily offended but you've completely grossed me out with that.

Cool a pizza thread.

If i was working for BHP and in the other 30,000 sqm of office space they have around the city id be asking questions.

Nice pics Damien. Good to see the sign appears to be complete.

Kelli · June 30th, 2012, 02:21 PM

Those escalators in the last picture look like christmas in person, they're so brightly lit, one green up, two red down (I think?).

BartBart · June 30th, 2012, 02:57 PM

I assume they are able to make two in the main direction for the time of day.

Oh, makes sense.
