(2) An option under consideration is on University of Western Australia land at Crawley. Plans for this option involve utilising land at the Swan River foreshore at Crawley Bay. (3) Should the Crawley option be selected as the preferred site, 3 buildings that house a number of clubs (Perth Dinghy Club, Hale School and UWA Rowing Clubs) may be affected. (4), (5) and (6) As the owners of the land being considered in this proposal are the University of Western Australia, this is a matter of consideration by the University.
