Metropolitan and Country Zoning Review Metropolitan and Country Zoning Review “Growing our game” WAFL Zoning 2003 WAFC Zoning Review Committee Chaired by: Ian Taylor - Commissioner with Andrew Purser - Independent Alan Bishop - WACFL WAFL Zoning 2003 Review Process • Request for submissions from all football stakeholders • Consultation with WAFDT and WAFL Development Officers to determine current statistical data • Management Sub Committee with an external executive officer, Andrew McBean, to collate and produce a draft statistical analysis • Analysis of the Draft by the Zoning review committee in conjunction with the terms of reference to produce the final report WAFL Zoning 2003 Special thanks to the: • WAFDT for providing the data for the AFL National Census • Department of Planning and Infrastructure for providing all of the population projections data, the LGA statistical data and general planning and mapping expertise • Department of Education and Training for statistical data regarding schools and school populations WAFL Zoning 2003 Terms of Reference Metropolitan: • This zoning should be undertaken with the view that the zones should remain in place for a period of at least seven years. (It is acknowledged that the Peel licence is to be reviewed after five years and zoning may need to be modified accordingly.) • Notwithstanding the above, demographic projections for the period 2004 – 2010 should be used to predict future population densities and the potential of the playing population to increase or decrease as the case may be • Consideration is to be given to the number of teams playing in each age group for each zone in order to develop a sustainable competition for as many age groups as possible within each zone. WAFL Zoning 2003 Terms of Reference Metropolitan (continued): • Natural boundaries such as freeways, rivers and major arterial roads should be considered. Comment: For the National ABS & AFL census the local government boundaries have been followed where possible. • The historical associations with WAFL clubs should be considered. • The current junior club boundaries should be considered. Junior clubs should not be split between two zones where possible. • Consideration should be given to clubs that have been moved from one zone to another under previous rezoning schemes. WAFL Zoning 2003 Terms of Reference Metropolitan (continued): • Rules should be recommended for implementation to allow for: - the development of players from the current zone to be recognised; and - to avert the mass registration of players from the ‘existing zone’ prior to implementation of the new zone. • The number of schools in the area should be considered. Primary focus for development in future years will be the targeting of the growth of football within schools. Consideration should be given to the number of players participating in school football program for 12-17 yr olds. • When determining player numbers, consideration should be given to the number of players within a team, not just using a standard number of players across all zones, eg. One team = 20 players. NB: National AFL Census uses 25 players per team as their estimate WAFL Zoning 2003 Terms of Reference Country: • Consider allocation of leagues to WAFL Clubs rather than regions to minimise the number of Country Leagues split between WAFL Clubs. • The Pilbara should be allocated as a WAFL zone. Rules should be recommended for recruitment of players from the Kimberley. • Consider current and future travel subsidies for outlying zones. • Consider geographic relationship to the metropolitan zones. WAFL Zoning 2003 Major Considerations: Parker Report 2001 Recommendation: The primary consideration for determining zones should be the number of players competing in the zones. Comments: Every effort has been made to achieve equalisation of player numbers in each zone. WAFL Zoning 2003 WAFL Management Recommendation: It is appropriate to consider age categories from 10 - 17 years, with an emphasis on the 12 - 17 age group. Comments: Every effort has been made to achieve equal playing numbers in age groups across the State, emphasising the 12 - 17 year olds.

I progressed to the Reserves to play alongside great athletes like John Gastev, Peter Cutler and James Waddell. They all went on to great careers at West Perth and beyond. I took a different path. I was a Falcons fan, for sure. Les Fong was a secret hero of mine for many reasons.

  • [ASSEMBLY] a Good Job in His Current Role As Leader of the Opposition
    382 [ASSEMBLY] a good job in his current role as Leader of the Opposition. According to The West Australian I am one of 7 per cent of Western Australians who thinks that the member for Cottesloe is doing a good job. The Liberal party has 15 members in this place, so 7 per cent of that is about one member. Who is the one member on that side who thinks his or her leader is doing a good job? I think I know who it is, but I do not think it is the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. About two or three members opposite are prepared to put up their hand to support the Leader of the Opposition. I support the Leader of the Opposition. Let us look at what the Deputy Leader of the Opposition said about his leader. He said that he thought Julie will make a good opposition leader! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! The Minister for Education got off the track a little. I presume the minister has finished that answer, so question time is now over. ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MR MARSHALL (Dawesville) [2.35 pm]: This is a very special occasion for me. It is the ninth speech I have made in the Address-in-Reply debate, but it is the first time from this side of the House. The position feels uncomfortable. It is like serving into the sun in a tennis match. Although one has the opportunity in a tennis match of getting the good end in the odd game, I know that I am stuck here for another three and a half years before I get the opportunity to get the sun out of my eyes.

  • BEATTY PARK LEISURE CENTRE CONSERVATION PLAN Vincent
    BEATTY PARK LEISURE CENTRE CONSERVATION PLAN Vincent Street, North Perth September 2007 for the Town of Vincent Job No. 04183 With Robin Chinnery, Historian Cover Image: Original entrance to the Beatty Park Leisure Centre. Image courtesy Town of Vincent. Page i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Town of Vincent commissioned this Conservation Plan to assist them in conserving and developing the Beatty Park Leisure Centre to assure its future. Apart from being a very important part of the Town and State’s heritage, it is the Town of Vincent’s most significant trading enterprise. A separate conservation plan will be commissioned for the remainder of the park. The pool and spectator stands were developed in 1962 for the VII th British Empire and Commonwealth Games and substantial additions were made in 1993-4, changing the focus of the venue towards leisure rather than a venue for training elite athletes. The whole of the place is a busy working facility and there is a need to upgrade the 1962 facilities in particular. The Town is considering a major refurbishment and upgrade of the stands and pool area to meet with contemporary standards and expectations, and this prospect precipitated the need for a conservation plan. The 1962 structure is under- utilised with, for example, only a fraction of the stand seating being used, and there are some re-planning possibilities to consider to make the operation as a whole perform better, which may give rise to the consideration of alternative uses for some of the spaces under the 1962 stands. As the place is included in the Register of Heritage Places and registered as Beatty Park and Beatty Park Leisure Centre , the Conservation Plan is intended to assist the Town of Vincent and the Heritage Council of Western Australia to assess the impact of proposed change on cultural heritage values and the conservation of the place.

  • Stirling Amateur Football and Sporting Club News Archive 2016
    Stirling Amateur Football and Sporting Club News Archive 2016 4 November 2015: Tony Mirabella Appointed as League Coach The Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Tony Mirabella as League Coach for the 2016 season. Tony joins the club from Collie Eagles in the South West Football League, where he has played since 2014. In 2014, Tony was Collie’s leading goal kicker, booting 57 goals in 18 games (including a bag of 9 goals vs Donnybrook). Tony also played in the South West Football League’s carnival side, which won the Division 1 Grand Final. Tony sustained a knee injury early in 2015 that kept him on the sidelines for much of the season, but it did provide him with the opportunity to act as Collie Eagles’ assistant coach for the season. Prior to joining Collie, Tony hailed from country Victoria, playing for Springbank Tigers and Waubra Roos (both in the Central Highlands Football League), and then in 2013 for Hasting Blues in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League. During that time, he was his club’s leading goal kicker, booting almost 50 goals in 2011, more than 60 goals in 2012 and more than 50 goals for Hastings in 2013. Tony was also a regular inclusion in inter-league representative sides, and was chosen in the MPNFL’s Team of the Year in 2013. Tony knows what it takes to achieve success, having played in a premiership side at Waubra Roos, and he is keen to transfer that knowledge to help the Saints in the push for a premiership in 2016.

BUTI (Armadale) [10.27 am]: I present for tabling the seventeenth report of the Public Accounts Committee titled “More Than Just a Game: The Use of State Funds by the WA Football Commission”. I also present for tabling the submissions to the inquiry. [See papers 3980 and 3981.] Dr A.D. BUTI: Football, or Aussie Rules, has played a significant role in the lives of Western Australians for more than 130 years. As former Premier Dr Geoff Gallop remarked, “No sport has had such a critical impact on our social and cultural development as Australian Football.” Football is a game that develops tribal loyalties and arouses passions, but it is also more than just a game. As noted by Dr Neale Fong, a former chair of the West Australian Football Commission, the history of football in Western Australia is not only about footballers, clubs and supporters, it also involves relationships with networks of politicians, governments, businesses and personalities involved in the game. The West Australian Football Commission, established in 1989, is the body charged with responsibility for the overall development and strategic direction of football in this state. The creation of the West Australian Football Commission is unique to WA.

  • Australian Rules Football Cheer Squads of the Eighties
    2 BALTIC JOURNAL OF SPORT & HEALTH SCIENCES No. 4(107); 2017; 2–16; ISSN 2351-6496 AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL CHEER SQUADS OF THE EIGHTIES: A CASE STUDY OF THE WEST PERTH CHEER SQUAD 1984–1986 Kieran James University of the West of Scotland, Paisley, Scotland ABSTRACT Background. In this article I review key studies in the academic literature on football (soccer) hooliganism in the UK and around the world. I apply Armstrong’s anthropological approach to our 15–20 member West Perth unofficial cheer squad (hard-core supporter group) of 1984–1986 (Australian Rules football’s WAFL competition). Method. This is an ethnographic study of the West Perth cheer squad 1984–86 told from the viewpoint of the author who was co-founder and co-leader of this group. It is both strength and weakness of the research data that the author was an active participant in the events rather than a researcher performing typical ethnographic research as a non-participant. Results. I find that the anthropological approach is able to explain many aspects of our cheer squad’s culture and members’ behaviours including the quick disintegration of the cheer squad early in the 1986 season without anyone officially ending it. However, our group members did not adjust their commitment downwards during the cheer squad’s years of action; most members attended all home-and-away matches during May 1984–March 1986. This research also shows the diffusion of Australian Rules football supporter culture from Melbourne to Adelaide and from these two cities to Perth, to a lesser extent, and the impact of TV news reports of British football hooliganism on our group’s style and macho posturing.
