Notes to editors:

• Crown Perth received four Gold Plate Awards at the Catering Institute of Australia’s Gala Awards Dinner held in Perth on Monday, 28 October 2013, including:

• The Catering Institute’s Gold Plate Awards were established 46 years ago and have grown to be Western Australia’s premier hospitality Awards, representing one of the only independent reviews of restaurants in Australia where the judges travel anonymously to grade each of the entrants.
• The ‘Excellence in Health Award’ is a further testament to Crown Perth’s commitment to food safety, having also achieved the internationally recognised certification ISO 22000 and 3rd Party HACCP standard by the BSI Group for its Food Safety Management Systems earlier this year. The ISO 22000 is one of the highest food standard credentials in the country and Crown Perth is the only casino complex of its kind in Australia to achieve the standard.
