The first conventional drive-in located in Western Australia was the Highway, opened in the Perth suburb of Bentley on 24 October 1955, with the screening of Cecil B. DeMille's "The Greatest Show on Earth". The Highway, owned and operated by John Pye (who founded the Ace entertainment and hospitality group), was located on a former dairy farm, fronting Albany Highway. It featured a high by wide screen on concrete footings, with a 642 car capacity, children's playground, mini golf course, cafeteria and approximately 30 staff. The resultant success of the Highway started a boom in suburban drive-ins which saw a further eight operating by the end of the decade (the Skyline in Floreat in November 1955, Mott's in Gosnells in January 1956, the Panorama in Roleystone in March 1956, the Metro in Innaloo, the Lakeway in Swanbourne in April 1957, the Melway in Melville, the Wirrina in Morley in March 1959 and the Eastway in Belmont in July 1959), with another nine sites opening in the 1960s (including the Starline in Hilton). The growth of Perth's suburban drive-ins then slowed to only five more built during the 1970s with the last drive-in theatre, Aceway, in the suburb of Morley, constructed in 1980.
