What are the key features of stage 1?

Design priorities for the $1.5 million budget were guided by initial community consultation undertaken in early 2020 and in 2017 as part of the Western Suburbs Sporting Precinct Study. Key features proposed for inclusion in Stage 1 include:
  • Oval and rectangular sporting field to accommodate different sports
  • 38 car parking bays, including landscaping
  • Footpath connection to McTaggart Cove (Development WA are providing a temporary footpath connection along the western edge of the site)
  • Modular toilet amenity
  • Perimeter fencing for site security and to contain sports balls
  • Pre-lay of site services for the future building and sports standard lighting
  • A water tank (required to minimise salt water intrusion on irrigated water, due to the shallow 20m bore depth), which will incorporate public artwork
  • Landscaping, trees and preservation of the Heritage Fig Tree corridor (which will be guided by arborist advice).
Should construction costs be favourable, the City also aims to deliver (in order of priority):
  • Nature playground
  • Cricket nets
  • Car park lighting
  • Sports standard lighting
What is stage 2?

Stage 2 involves the delivery of a new community and sporting building. This will undergo a separate planning process when budget becomes available, including opportunity for comment during a separate development application process.
