Today, Crown Perth is the largest single-site employer in Western Australia<\/strong>, with more than 5000 team members.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of the milestone celebration, throughout December, Crown revived the spirit of the 1980s, with activities and events including a photographic exhibition showcasing the evolution of the Burswood Peninsula and paying tribute to dedicated team members who have worked at the venue over 40 years. A time capsule containing memories from 1985, as well as items from today, will also be buried on site \u2013 ready to be revealed again in 2065.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Crown Perth CEO Brian Pereira<\/strong> said there are eight \u2018Day One\u2019 employees who still work at Crown, and another dozen who started working at Crown in 1986, within months of the official opening.\u00a0 \u201cAnyone who has worked at Crown will tell you it is the people who make the place so special, and that rings true today,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n And added: \u201cThis milestone is an opportunity to celebrate our team members, guests and partners who have made this journey possible and to this day, help us create memorable experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Crown Perth contributes approximately AU$1.2bn annually to Western Australia\u2019s economy<\/strong> and partners with hundreds of local suppliers.
