Some service stations and certified small or special retail shops may trade under separate rules, while restaurants, cafes and takeaway shops are outside the state’s retail trading-hours rules. Permission to open does not guarantee that a particular business will open, so check its own holiday hours before setting out.
When is Good Friday in Perth in 2027?

Which shops may open?
Western Australia’s Retail Trading Hours Act 1987 applies to retail shops south of the 26th parallel. In Perth, the rules depend on the shop’s legal category. The rules say when a business may trade; they do not require it to open. WA Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety: Retail trading hours
Ordinary general retail shops
General retail shops are closed on Good Friday. Although the usual Perth rules permit Sunday and many public-holiday trading from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Good Friday is specifically excluded. The WA Government’s 2025 regulatory impact statement also confirms that the standing public-holiday variation does not apply that day.

Certified small and special retail shops
Certified small retail shops may trade 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Certified special retail shops may trade from 6 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. every day. Special shops are certified for categories associated with emergency, convenience or recreation goods; a pharmacy, hardware store or convenience shop is not automatically in that category. Certification permits trading but does not confirm a particular shop’s holiday opening.
Service stations
Filling stations that sell vehicle fuel have deregulated trading hours and may open at any time. Restrictions apply to non-fuel goods outside general retail trading hours; permitted categories include food, first-aid items, pet and veterinary requisites, reading material, torches and batteries. Check FuelWatch for station hours and fuels sold, then confirm any other items with the location.

Can restaurants, cafes and takeaway shops open?
Restaurants, cafes and takeaway food shops are not covered by the Retail Trading Hours Act and can open at any time under that Act. This is not a guarantee that a venue will trade on Good Friday: check the specific business’s dated holiday notice or contact it directly.

- Identify the kind of business. A supermarket or other ordinary general retail shop is closed; a certified small or special shop, service station, or food-service venue follows a different rule.
- Check the exact location’s holiday hours. Look for an explicit Good Friday 2027 notice, rather than relying on ordinary Friday hours or a general listing.
- Confirm what you need is available. For a service station, check fuel availability on FuelWatch and ask the station about non-fuel goods.
These rules address Perth metropolitan-area retail trading, not every regional area or every kind of service. They do not establish opening hours for a named shop, attraction or public transport service.
