Technology Park has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: • The place has scientific value as a centre of technological development; • The place has historic value as the first of this type of development in Western Australia; and • The place has social value for its ongoing association with Curtin University, encouraging continual communication in research and development between the two places.
The Park includes an assortment of contemporary buildings located within close proximity to Curtin University. The Park buildings are predominantly constructed of curtain walling, steel and rendered masonry and contain a number of technology driven companies and research institutions. Buildings are accessed via internal bitumen roads that are lined with mature trees (large number of pine trees) and grassed verges.
Technology Park was established in 1985 as a government initiative to stimulate innovative information technology and telecommunications, renewable energy, clean technologies and life sciences. The Brodie Hall Building (previously known as the CRA Advanced Technical Development building), within the Park, has been recognised for its architectural design. The building has received an architecture award in 1990, a special mention in the 1991 International Research and Development Laboratory Awards, was awarded the Triennial Architecture Medal in 1993 and awarded the Architecture Medal (RAIA WA Chapter) in 1994.
