Government House Foundation

The Government House Foundation (established 1987) is a voluntary organisation working to promote the significance of the House, Ballroom and Gardens to the people of Western Australia.

The House is central to our history and heritage. The Foundation directly supports its conservation and enhancement by raising funds and encouraging the wider community to directly experience ‘their’ House and better understand the role of the Governor.

Since 2006 the Foundation has staged the popular Music on the Terrace concerts, showcasing the exceptional musical quality and encouraging young Western Australian artists.

We warmly encourage members to share in supporting this centrepiece of Western Australian history and to participate in exciting projects to come.
