Perth's Elizabeth Quay has been selected as the official location for the country's national memorial to remember those on-board missing flight MH370.

The West reports a monument jointly funded by the state and federal governments will be erected at the site in the second half of 2018. 

Premier Mark McGowan said Perth was chosen because of it's proximity to the Indian Ocean, where it's believed the 227 passengers and 12 crew perished. 

MH370 disappeared in March 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

The search of an area more than two thousand kilometres off the coast of WA was suspended last January.
