Knowledge? Bah, it’s equal parts blind guessing and parroting what I find on government web sites

East Perth is a decent choice — neither the best option nor the worst. I’d like to have seen a Melbourne-style stadium precinct across the river at Burswood, but the taskforce apparently have concerns about muddy building foundations or something.

This site is next to the old power station which is frontrunner for the WA Museum’s new home (now there’s another drawn-out saga), and it’d certainly be different to put our main stadium and main museum next door. There’s a good chance it’ll create opportunities for a riverside entertainment precinct — but that was going to happen anyway, because the site already had redevelopment plans.
