The West Australian Government has awarded a $51 million contract for the redevelopment of Scarborough Beach in Perth, with work scheduled to begin in the coming weeks.

The upgrades, expected to cost a total of about $100 million and be partly paid for by the City of Stirling, include a new surf club facility, improved promenades and beach access, a children's playground and a skate park.

The works will be overseen by the WA-based Georgiou Group, who are also involved in the Roe 8 project.

Part of the plan includes increased access for people with disabilities to enjoy the beach.

Deputy Premier and member for Scarborough Liza Harvey said the redevelopment would help the area reach its potential as one of Australia's best beaches.

"Scarborough has transformed so much in recent years and visitors are flocking to the foreshore, but these public facilities we are announcing today will really be the jewel in the crown," Ms Harvey said.

She said upgrades at Scarborough had been a concern in her constituency as far back as 2008, and it was good news major works were about to begin.

Georgiou Group chief executive John Georgiou said the company was honoured to carry out the works.

The redevelopment is expected to be completed by early 2018.
