With Perth Film Studios recently opening and growing interest from international productions, Western Australia is fast becoming one of the most exciting new destinations for Film and Television. Perth’s stunning locations, modern facilities, and production incentives are putting it firmly on the global stage.

To better understand the opportunity on the ground, TAG recently sent Prue Kennedy, Senior Account Manager, Production, and Pat Eastman, Supplier Relationship Manager, to Perth to assess the landscape and ensure clients continue to receive best-in-class production travel support.

“As productions expand into new regions, logistics become increasingly complex. At TAG, we specialise in simplifying that journey – from managing crew and cast travel by securing flexible air-fares and production-friendly accommodation, ensuring seamless access for inbound productions.”

TAG has shared their top tips for ensuring a smooth production experience in Western Australia’s newest creative hub.

Getting there

With growing international interest, demand for direct or one-stop routes to Perth is increasing. TAG’s dedicated production travel team have negotiated film friendly fares with the major airlines to ensure the fares productions are used to receiving, are now available to Perth.

Production-Friendly Accommodation Options

While Perth’s accommodation market is more boutique than Australia’s east coast capitals, it offers a strong selection of apartment-style hotels ideal for long-term stays. Through its global partnerships, TAG negotiates exclusive, competitive rates to help productions maximise budgets.

Production-friendly properties vetted by the team combine comfort, flexibility and convenient access to key filming areas – essential for busy crews working long schedules.

Filming and Logistics

When Prue and Pat were on the ground, they made sure to inspect numerous hotels and calculate the distance from the airports, the hotels and the studios so that agents have the knowledge they need to be experts.

“Res and Todd from our WA Production team told us everything is 20 minutes away – and they are right, 20 minutes to the beach, 20 minutes to the studios and 20 minutes to the city.”
