East Perth Gas Works was built in 1922 for the Perth City Council to produce town gas from coal, supplying the city of Perth in Western Australia.[1] It could initially supply Шаблон:Convert of gas per day.[2]

It was built on the site of the earlier 1886 Perth Gas Company plant.[3]

The works was situated on the north bank of Claise Brook and operated until its decommissioning in 1971. It was dismantled over a number of years, and the landmark 20-sided gasometer known as the "No. 2 Cityholder" was removed in 1985.[4]

As a result of the processes in its operation, land surrounding the works was badly contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). From the mid-1980s, a major environmental remediation project on behalf of the State Energy Commission of Western Australia, which owned the land, was undertaken to remove the contaminated soils created by the works.[5] Remediation included dredging of Шаблон:Convert of adjacent riverbeds and removal and treatment of Шаблон:Convert of soil.
