Business Case
In March 2022, the Town held a period of community engagement to help shape the design of the proposed community spaces within the new facility.
The Town reviewed community feedback alongside various technical reports to develop a comprehensive business case.
The business case was presented to Council at the 18 October 2022 Ordinary Council Meeting, where Council endorsed a staged delivery approach, approved the Town to proceed to detail design of the Perth Football Club, Function Centre and Community Space.
The staged delivery approach involves constructing the new facilities to the north of the existing facilities, which will allow the Perth Football Club to continue its operations during construction.
The business case, Council Report and Council Minutes from the 18 October 2022 Council Meeting are available to view from the links below.
