As part of an exciting partnership initiated between Hawaiian (owners of Bassendean Shopping Village) and the WA Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), Bassendean Shopping Village now sees theatrical performances and exhibitions taking place in-centre. The partnership allows for school children within the Bassendean area to participate in activities with students from WAAPA’s various artistic departments during school holidays. This partnership is a first for WA shopping centres, and provides a wonderful opportunity to create a sense of theatre and entertainment at Bassendean Shopping Village.
