The Western Australian Football Commission divides the state of Western Australia into metropolitan and regional districts for the purposes of defining competition areas and to assist in the proper planning and development of the sport. The metropolitan districts, which include Peel, each have a team in the Western Australian Football League (WAFL), which is the highest standard of football played in WA after the Australian Football League, which is a national based competition.

Each of the regional districts throughout the state have their own competitions. The regional district areas are further divided into equitable recruiting areas for each of the nine WAFL clubs. It is the aim of the WAFC to have equality in terms of current and future player numbers for all nine WAFL clubs.

Hence a division already exists of the state and the metropolitan area into areas which form the current division of facility zones with each zone having an allocated WAFL club. There is no reason to develop a separate division of the state into facility zones that do not correspond with the current or future WAFL zones as designated by the WAFC. There is a need, however, to be mindful of possible future changes in WAFL zones when planning the development of new and improved facilities to ensure that facility equity is maintained for each zone.
