Part 3 - Facility Plan
Download this document
This document was developed following consultation with all metropolitan District Development Councils (DDCs) and the South West Regional Development Council (RDC) on what constitutes the preferred facility requirements of WAFL, senior and junior football clubs. The existing WAFL Minimum Standards and the AFL Preferred Facility Requirements were the only documented standards available and were used as the basis for the proposed new facility hierarchy requirements.
Neither of the two existing facility standards addressed preferred or minimum standards for junior clubs and hence the preferred facility requirements for junior clubs listed in this report are the first of their kind and may need refinement over time following experience with their use.
This document outlines the preferred facility requirements for WAFL, senior and junior club level facilities. Individual football leagues, local governments or clubs may choose to provide additional facilities, or larger sizes, depending on specific local needs on a case by case basis.
These Preferred Facility Requirements have been developed to provide direction for the development of new football facilities and for the refurbishment of existing facilities. It is acknowledged that many existing football facilities may not meet these preferred requirements but this does not mean they should be assessed as not being suitable. Rather, should existing facilities be considered for upgrade, these requirements should be used as guidelines to aid facility design.
