At the Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday 23 May 2023, the City of South Perth Council resolved not to progress delivery of the Recreation and Aquatic (RAF) project.

Council’s decision not to proceed with the RAF was informed by the City’s most recent report which noted a significant capital funding shortfall for the project and the proposed facility’s requirement for ongoing subsidy from City rates revenue. Find out more on the City's website.

Picture this near you… a premier aquatic, health, wellness and recreation hub located at Collier Park Golf Course in the heart of the City of South Perth and easily accessible from Town of Victoria Park and City of Canning. Setting a new benchmark in health, wellness and leisure, the RAF will be a unique socially inclusive destination where physical activity and lifestyle experiences meet.

You asked, we listened

For over a decade, more than a dozen studies, plans, polls and surveys have shown that our community supports improved recreation facilities within the City of South Perth, particularly an aquatic facility, gym and more indoor courts.

As a result of community feedback, one of the key strategies in the City’s Strategic Community Plan 2020-2030 is to plan for and promote the development of recreation and aquatic facilities to service community needs. We are working to make this happen.

Council will determine whether to endorse the detailed business case at the October meeting. To make an informed decision, they will need to understand the level of stakeholder and community interest in and support for the project.
