WA State Government

In July 2023, the State Government unveiled its new Sam Kerr Football Centre, in time for it to welcome international teams in training for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 ™.

Just a few years earlier, the Department of Finance and Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries had engaged CLE Town Planning + Design to achieve the planning approval for this key piece of sporting infrastructure.

With joint State and Federal funding totalling $46m, the 16-hectare site includes a two-storey building with a grandstand, two competition and training pitches, on-site parking and three five-a-side playing pitches.

Surfing WA C/- Successful Projects

CLE Town Planning + Design obtained planning approval for the Surfing WA Headquarters at Trigg Beach. The Headquarters will support professional surfing, development coaching, education, competition event coordination and grassroots surfing lessons.

This unique planning proposal involved a lease arrangement, partially located within the foreshore and within land reserved for Parks and Recreation. CLE Town Planning + Design had to ensure that documentation supporting the proposal demonstrated that the use of the land was consistent with the objectives of the reserve and would provide benefit to the community.

CLE Town Planning + Design as the lead planner was critical in securing this approval. CLE Town Planning + Design navigated a unique planning process, with extensive liaison with key stakeholders including the City of Stirling, City of Stirling Design Review Panel and the DPLH, as well as a presentation at the Statutory Planning Committee.
