THE Perth Arena naysayers have been silenced for good.
After copping years of criticism, the $550 million entertainment venue has officially been dubbed an engineering marvel by raking in two major awards for it's eye-catching design and complicated construction.
Last night, two Perth businesses took home prizes at the prestigious National Master Builders Awards for their work on the Northbridge stadium.
BGC Construction won the National Public Building award and Perth Rigging Company won National Specialist Contractor of the Year for its work on the arena's steel frames.
Perth Rigging described the project as the "most complicated structure designed and built in Perth and probably the Southern Hemisphere.''
Held at Parliament House in Canberra, the awards recognised the country's top building and construction businesses.
The Perth Arena project was first announced in 2005 with a price tag of $160 million, but was plagued with time delays and cost blow-outs.
Since opening on November 10 last year, it has become a landmark for entertainment, hosting Pink, Rihanna, Kiss and The Jacksons.
Other big acts on the calender include Bon Jovi, Dolly Parton and Bruce Springsteen.
The MBA award comes after the arena's joint-venture designers ARM Architects and Cameron Chisholm Nicol won the best interior and best public architecture prizes at the National Architecture Awards last week.
CCN architect Dominic Snellgrove defended the building's bold design during construction and said it set a new benchmark for entertainment venues.
"It's a long way to come here and this was about providing a facility that would encourage bands to come to Perth,'' Mr Snellgrove previously told The Sunday Times.
"Places like the Opera House had a lot of negative commentary, even the Eiffel Tower was hated by the Parisians when it was first built.
"To get a reaction is important, especially with an important piece of public architecture like this. It's a unique project. These things only happen once every 30 years or so.''
