The car park section(possibly the former gardens site?) is also a bus terminus for use by Tranperth buses running between the hall and Perth, or Optus Stadium(special events use).

Looks like an entrance(or exit?) road to the left ot the(snack bar?) building?

Looks small for a drive-in theatre(unless some of the ramps have been demolished, along with the bio box and ticket booth?). Is that possibly the snack bar on the north side of the ramps(top of photo), the two fences seem to come apart there(walkway to and from the snack bar building?)?

I think the outdoor seating near the screen is common in northern Western Australia(and maybe also northern Queensland(and Northern Territory in the past too?) too?))?
