7 04. THE STRATEGIC CONTEXT

The Masterplan aligns with national, state, regional, and local stakeholders’ needs, which include WA Football Commission, AFL, South Fremantle Football Club, City of Fremantle, and Fremantle Prison.

WAFC STRATEGIC FACILITIES PLAN 2020-2030

WAFC Strategic Facilities Plan 2020-2030

Provides the principles and strategic framework to support future planning, development, and growth of football facilities across WA, across three critical pillars: • Sustainability - Deliver inclusive, sustainable, and operationally viable facilities that respond to demand; • Partnerships - Improve our network of industry stakeholders by partnering with all levels of government, clubs, and other sports; • Investment - Highlight the needs and benefits of investment in football infrastructure, and the social, economic, and wellbeing benefits for the community.

8 04. THE STRATEGIC CONTEXT

Through strong stakeholder partnership, the Masterplan delivers an inclusive and sustainable facility, and achieves social, economic, and wellbeing benefits for the community.

Aligning with several key strategic documents produced by the City of Fremantle, it rejuvenates an iconic sporting facility and provides opportunities for broader community use and enjoyment.

9 05. POTENTIAL COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

THE MASTERPLAN PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR VARIOUS COMMUNITY, SCHOOL, SPORT, AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS.

The Masterplan supports the full football development pathway for both male and female players, from the introductory NAB AFL Auskick Program through to AFL level.

As well as servicing Community Football outcomes, the Oval creates strong connections to the Fremantle community through partnerships with organisations such as SEDA and the Stephen Michael Foundation.

The creation of a state-of-the-art, state-level venue in the heart of Fremantle will deliver strong partnerships and genuinely connect with the entire football community, and beyond.

10 05. POTENTIAL COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

A place for junior footballers, school players, development squads, and everything in between.

This redevelopment will provide:

• Elite-level football facilities for AFL, AFLW, WAFL, and WAFLW competition, including night football;

• High quality community spaces for organisations such as SEDA and Stephen Michael Foundation;

• Engaging, open landscape that allows the broader Fremantle community to connect with the space, both during and outside of match days;

• A place for the greater football community to call home, from junior footballers, school players, development squads, and everything in between.

11 06. ECONOMIC BENEFITS

The Masterplan provides economic and social benefits that positively impact the local community and businesses.

Upgrading football infrastructure, and improving accessibility and public realm amenity, provides opportunities for hosting more football matches and more community events/programs.
