The Fremantle (Western Australia) Oval will be redeveloped into a “centre of excellence” for the WA Football League under a proposed $20 million plan.
Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt said developing the Fremantle Oval precinct was a vital step in the port town’s ongoing revitalisation.
Note from Storm:
My wife, Maria, and I were recently very fortunate to have spent several days in Fremantle. [We were in the area because I was keynoting the annual conference of the Western Australia chapter of the Planning Institute of Australia, which was taking place a short distance north in Perth.]
We quickly fell in love with Fremantle, and with its tremendous potential for further revitalization.
Fremantle’s impressive mayor, Dr. Brad Pettitt was kind enough to buy me a cappuccino and spend a couple of hours showing me around town to discuss his vision for regenerating this traditional port town.

Sustainability and heritage: if that’s not an ideal background for a mayor in the 21st century, I don’t know what is. Go Freo!
