Gee, those residents sound like a bunch of selfish snobs. There is nowhere near enough affordable housing, especially in places like Fremantle that gentrified long ago and have huge property prices now.

I laugh at this now.
As McGowan said, no perimeter fencing allowing free access to WAFL games. Course that's now hit reality with East Fremantle asking " how the **** are we supposed to make any money from matchday if we can't charge people to get in"?
Judging by the comments on Facebook, a lot of East freo supporters just want them to bite the bullet and play out of Freo oval.
Fremantle Oval is a superb oval in many respects - capacity, location, heritage and character.
Fremantle Oval is in the literal heart of Fremantle.
Look up on a map where Cockburn Central is. It's miles from Fremantle.

I still think there needs to be a WAFL team (either new or relocated) in the south eastern suburbs like Maddington, Gosnells, Kelmscott, Armadale, Byford and Canning Vale.
Co-locating at Cockburn with the Dockers would be a good ready to go facility. Though Gosnells Oval would be better to be located in the heart of the catchment area, whilst near a train station and a town centre. It could be similar to Bassendean Oval.
But back to South and East Freo, perhaps East Freo Oval could become the training ground for East Freo. Fremantle Oval becomes the game day ground for East Freo men’s League Team (which is the only team where the admission fee is required).
Which ever East Freo teams are fixtured to play on the same day as the men’s League team also plays at Freo Oval (I.e. Reserves, Colts, Womens, Junior Girls), and those that play on the other day of the weekend (when no charge is applied to their game) play at East Freo Oval.
Having two WAFL men’s team and the AFLW Dockers team playing at Freo Oval provides a lot of content to generate revenue for an upgraded stadium.
Having East Freo training and non League games at East Freo Oval eases up on the ground usage issues at Fremantle Oval that Leederville Oval experiences with both East Perth and Subiaco sharing it as a home.

Yes, and the reason there isn't because historically it was part of a strong second tier league.
Yes, Armidale deserve a WAFL team.
No. Look at the mao and appreciate distances.
Exactly.

I appreciate the distances.
At the moment Byford is in the Perth catchment. Armadale and Roleystone (which are further east) are in the South Fremantle catchment. And Canning Vale is in the East Freo catchment. That is a long way for kids to travel on a school evening to get to WAFL Colts training.
Cockburn is atleast a lot closer than the grounds of the others clubs, and with the Dockers current undertaking upgrades to provide spectator facilities, would actually be ready to go.
Here is a map of the current catchments.
But it seems we both agree there should be something in the south eastern suburbs.
Yes, w.r.t. colts training
I'm talking w.r.t. WAFL games, attendances and where supporter bases live.
If fact I take it one step further.
If there is to be a WA3 then in the AFL it makes sense to identify with the East of Perth.
Crazy as it may seem Perth should be renamed Armidale and play at Armidale,
East Perth represent Perth and should play at the WACA.
Subiaco should represent Leederville.

East Fremantle Oval is an absolute pisstake, the council is basically a bunch of school P&C mums. they've ripped every last bit of soul out the venue and now have no anchor tenant.
How East Fremantle Council still exists is nuts. last I heard their staff were split over about three different buildings.

Community consultation has started on a redevelopment of Bassendean Oval.
www.bassendean.wa.gov.au
Consultation will open:28 October
Closing Date:18 November 2024
for residents, non-residents and stakeholders to share their thoughts on the future vision for this iconic precinct.
Bassendean Oval is located a short walk from the town centre and was officially opened in 1929. The Oval has been the home to Swan Districts Football Club since 1934. The Bassendean Oval Precinct is listed on the State Heritage Register, with particular reference to the Heritage Gates and the two grandstands.
Several master plans have identified the potential opportunity to integrate mixed use development into the precinct whilst redeveloping the football club and providing new community facilities to the residents of Bassendean.
The aim of the project is the redevelopment of the SDFC facilities within the Bassendean Oval Precinct, along with development of integrated community and complementary commercial facilities and amenities to meet the growing needs of the SDFC and the community.
The Oval is proposed to be reoriented to the AFL recommended orientation of 15 degrees off North/South.

- This is the optimum orientation for the playing of Australian Rules Football and for the maintenance of the playing surface in the winter months.
- It enables the football facilities to be located in the ideal location on the wing, while also keeping the heritage grandstands in suitable vantage points.
- It optimises the opportunity for the development of public open space to the north of the oval and provides a significant opportunity for other developments to the east of the oval whilst providing viewing of the heritage gates and stands from the Guildford Road entry.

Sanity prevails!
The Bassendean council had been wanting the ground to be perimeter fenceless.
