A MAJOR overhaul of the iconic Bells Lookout vantage point has reinforced its status as one of the region’s ‘must-see’ attractions.

Located at 911 Campersic Road, Brigadoon, the lookout’s improvements have been designed around increasing accessibility and improved family-friendly facilities.

For locals and visitors, the new lookout provides the perfect spot to enjoy the amazing views from of one of Perth's most famous hiking destinations.

The $1.068 million project was funded by $800,000 from the West Australian Planning Commission with the remainder provided by the City of Swan.

Site improvements include a rebuilt platform and shade structure, new parking area with extra off-street parking, installation of footpaths and kerbing, and landscaping works.

A coffee van area has also been constructed along with the installation of park furniture including picnic tables and seating.

“Community feedback was sought and taken into consideration before the final concept was approved,” a spokesperson said.

Swan Hills MLA Michelle Maynard said the project has given a new lease of life to one of Perth’s most treasured vistas.

“We’re blessed with one of Perth’s best views and now have a lookout facility to match its splendour.”

City of Swan Mayor Tanya Richardson said the new lookout would now prove even more popular with hikers and families looking for a unique spot for a picnic.

“Its improved accessibility, including new footpaths, parking and landscaping, make it an outstanding choice for visitors of all ages.”
