Well said Guy.
The Langoulant report found Subi was the easiest (and cheapest) and East Perth was the best for urban renewal. Instead we got Burswood.
There’s no two ways about it, the location sucks. Hopefully over time people and businesses will adapt, and some of the annoyances will be mitigated. Also, hopefully the stadium itself is awesome, and once you are in the ground it will be enjoyable. Let’s face it, Subi’s amenities have set a pretty low bar on that front.
But if anyone ever tries to claim this decision shows vision, they haven’t fully considered the issues. I mean, they didn’t even design the footbridge with a travelator in mind. Real missed opportunity for mine.
