A cash boost to an existing Perth city deal between the federal and West Australian governments will help construction work start sooner, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says.
The additional funding for the multi-billion dollar deal between the two governments was announced on Thursday during Mr Morrison's first visit to the state since its border restrictions ended.
Both governments will provide an extra $49 million for the new Edith Cowan University CBD campus and an extra $25 million for the new Swan River Bridge.
