About Ore Obelisk
Ore Obelisk is a 15-metre artwork by the City’s first appointed planner, Paul Ritter. It was commissioned in 1971 to celebrate Western Australia’s mining heritage and mark the state’s one-millionth resident. A much-loved landmark in Stirling Gardens for 50 years, 'the kebab' features stacked spheres of ore from across the State. The artwork has been in storage since it was removed in 2021.
