Organisations and residents have become embroiled in a dispute with the council over fears a former leisure centre could be “lost to the community forever”.
The mothballed Rodney Pavilion is in the process of being put on the market by PKC, with an east Perth group determined to bring it into community ownership.
The residents’ group - which includes members from Cycling Without Age, Perth in Bloom and Craigie Community choir - hopes to create a space for activities such as visual art and music workshops, ‘come and try’ sessions, computer gaming events, tea dances, ceilidhs and contemporary dance.
