West Australian Football Commission (WAFC) strategic facilities general manager Geoff Glass said all options for the future of the oval would ‘involve significant change’.
Mr Glass said it was likely that spectator capacity would be reduced while other facilities with long-term use and value could be retained.
‘They may continue to be occupied by the WAFC and the oval could be used for WAFL games, as a training venue for State development squads and a range of other community and sporting activities,’ he said. ‘Surplus land, as has been planned at Claremont Oval or the old Waverley Stadium in Melbourne, could be redeveloped for a mix of higher-density housing and commercial uses.’
