The Perth Airport Meteorological Office opened in May 1944
at Ivy St, Redcliffe. It commenced surface and upper air
observations and was then known as the Guildford
Meteorological Office.
Surface observations were moved to the Old Airport
Control Tower near the Domestic Terminal approximately
1.5km SSE of the Radar site (at Ivy Street) in March 1988.
Its name was changed to the Perth Airport Meteorological
Office and the old site was retained for launching and
tracking weather balloons.
All functions were transferred to the Meteorological
Office at its present location, 1.7km NNE of the Old
Airport Control Tower, in October 1997.
