There is some confusion over whether BankWest Tower or Central Park is the tallest building in Perth. It appears that one of these buildings has an antenna and one has a spire, but it is difficult to find which. The measurements are as follows:
If Central Park has an antenna, not a spire, its roof height would be classified as its official height, so therefore BankWest Tower would be considered taller. If BankWest Tower has the antenna, and Central Park has an architectural spire, BankWest Tower would be shorter. Even if they both had antennas, Central Park would be taller, or if they both had spires, Central Park would be taller. BankWest Tower could only be taller than Central Park if it has a spire and Central Park does not.
I once thought this last statement was true, and changed the information in both buildings' articles. These changes were soon reverted, but some of my sentences still remain and contradict the records, thus confusing readers. If this confusion is solved ASAP, we can sort out all of that.

The top of Central Park is built in the form of a see-through latticework, and the BankWest Tower's is solid, so if one of them is going to be considered a 'spire' it would be the BankWest Tower. SkyscraperPage.com agrees, and ranks BankWest Tower taller than Central Park. But Central Park's roof height is a fair bit higher than BankWest's, and 99% of Perth people who actually know what Central Park is would say that it is the tallest of the two. And to complicate things, Emporis ranks them the other way around, with Central Park at number 1, seemingly including its antenna/spire, and BankWest at number 2, seemingly without its antenna/spire. So I don't think we're going to be able to find any definitive answer. - Mark 13:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
