The WAFL Eagles fell short to Subiaco in a 19-point defeat at Mineral Resources Park under Friday night lights. While it was a competitive contest, both sides struggled to make the most of their chances in front of goal with the Lions taking the four points in the 13.14 (92) to 9.19 (73) win. In an electrifying start from both teams, the Eagles opened the scoring early through Coen Livingstone, but a sensational play from Subiaco saw Ryan Borchet put the Lions in front. Jack Mayo and Archer May continued the momentum for the Lions, extending the lead to 10 points, before West Coast’s youngster Jobe Shanahan asserted his dominance in the forward line, reducing the margin to six. Another quick turn around saw Borchet kick an additional two goals, and while the Eagles showed glimpses of speed and opportunity, they failed to convert. A few easy turn overs allowed the Lions to take charge extending the lead to 16 points at the end of the first quarter.   The Lions imposed themselves in the second term, controlling the ball and keeping the Eagles under constant pressure. West Coast’s Matt Flynn continued his dominant form from round one, leading from the front for West Coast, controlling the ruck contests and making his presence felt up forward. Flynn finished with a game-high 49 hit outs, 20 touches, a team-high eight marks and a goal, while Lucca Grego impressed with a team-high 23 disposal and managed four marks and five tackles. In his WAFL return, Tim Kelly finished with 20 disposals, 5 tackles, a game-high 10 inside 50s and a goal, while 19-year-old Jobe Shanahan impressed with three majors. Subiaco put their foot down in the second quarter, piling on the pressure and dominating the possession. The Eagles held strong, before May responded with his second goal, extending the lead to 25 points. Subiaco remained slick in the midfield while the Eagles struggled to make the most of their possessions, with the momentum continuing to swing against them. A free kick to Richard Bartlett left the Eagles trailing by 30 points. Shannon Lucassen hit back for West Coast, slotting a desperately needed goal, but multiple turnovers saw the Lions keep their lead and continue to pile on additional pressure. A fourth quarter fight-back from the Eagles took them within 20 points, but the Lions responded through Borchet and Kody Eaton. While the Eagles didn’t come away with the four points, there was plenty of positives to take out of the game, winning the clearances (39-31) inside 50s (54-49) and hitouts (52-22). West Coast return to Mineral Resources Park on Saturday to take on Perth in round three.

Lilly Mills (14) and Shay Manolini (23) helped rebuild the innings during the middle overs The key breakthrough of Piparo from Subiaco captain Jess Emery swung the momentum back towards her side just as Midland-Guildford were threatening to post a defendable score Emery managed to produce a game-breaking spell as she was able to run through Midland’s middle to lower order in quick succession She finished with the fine figures of 5-14 off seven overs to help dismissed Midland-Guildford for 140 which included losing their last six wickets for 41 runs Emery was well supported by Naidoo (2-20 off

Road is now enjoying a post-pandemic renaissance – and a refined one at that If you were a Perth native of legal age in the 1990s and early 2000s, it’s likely you rocked out on Rokeby Road at some point The Subiaco Hotel – known as “The Subi” – has been a staple on Rokeby Road for generations The buzzing high street was once a mecca for beer swillers partying professionals and raucous footy fans who had attended an arvo game at Subiaco Oval At the centre of the action was the Subiaco Hotel – still one of Perth’s most iconic watering holes owner of The Regal Theatre – which sits across the street from the hotel – said ‘The Subi’ was the place to be “It was always packed out with bands to see and there would be a queue all the way down the street to get in,” Ms Knight recalled The Regal Theatre hosted such starry names as Scottish comedian Billy Connolly and Dame Edna Everage – alter ego of the late “On a Friday and Saturday night people would come to a show and then head across the street to The Subi to kick on Back then we didn’t have all the small wine bars that have popped up here over the last few years also reflected on the high street as a “party town” – a frothy mix of western suburb locals and punters who would travel from other areas of the city to frequent the street’s nightclubs “I remember the days of the old Red Sea club and also Llama Bar which was on the corner of Rokeby Road and Hay Street It was definitely a nightlife hub in the nineties.” the small bar concept was introduced into Western Australian liquor legislation which saw a slew of snazzy wine bars and boutique pubs pop-up across the city What should have been a major boom for the high street ironically marked the beginning of its downfall “We were slow on the uptake of the small bar wave which became very popular in places like Leederville or Mount Lawley and Northridge People eventually stopped coming here,” explained Kim Knight so they started going to areas where they could barhop from two or three different locations rather than having to stay in the same venue all night.” If the small bar fiasco suggested the beginning of Rokeby Road’s decline the decommissioning of Subiaco Oval in 2017 – and its demolition two years later – sounded its death knell “There were only around 22 games played there a season but Subiaco Oval still brought in a lot of foot traffic to Rokeby Road on game days When the AFL moved to the newly built Optus Stadium that was probably the lowest point for the area,” said Damian Collins but the street has certainly gotten a lot better in the last couple of years I think the catalyst for that has been new housing and redevelopment projects which has led to the arrival of new bars has witnessed Rokeby Road endure its highs to lows and back again “I certainly think that the football leaving was a turning point as the mix of businesses changed and there was a shift towards a focus on dining outlets And now some vibrancy has started to return to the area,” Mr Cherubino told realcommercial.com.au “I still consider it to be the best high street in Perth.” Mr Cherubino launched his small wine bar and restaurant above gourmet providore Simon Johnson Foods Larry Cherubino opened a wine bar on Rokeby Road “We always wanted a bar in the area and had been looking at that space for almost 12 years before deciding to go for it,” the businessman explained “There wasn’t much happening here at the time and people thought we were a bit nuts for opening a bar upstairs with no street frontage But Rokeby Road – and Subiaco for that matter – was and is great We just backed an area we’ve always thought had loads of potential.” Bar Amelie is another example of the many new cafes restaurants and bars popping up on Rokeby Road marking the high street’s transformation into a sophisticated hospitality destination Owner Kat Dehavilland opened the modern Australian-style tapas bar on Subiaco’s high street two years ago “I just felt with all the redevelopment happening in Subiaco that Rokeby Road was going to be the next up-an-coming precinct And it’s such a beautiful road – there’s not many places like it in Perth,” Ms Dehavilland said “It’s definitely becoming a lot more upmarket and I think a lot of that has to do with the recent influx offices moving from West Perth to Subi I think just about every mining company in Perth is now based here I know because I get a lot of business from them!” Damian Collins moved his real estate business you won’t find a better location with all the great shops There’s plenty of options for after work drinks,” he said Ms Dehavilland remarked since opening Bar Amelie another 15 bars and restaurants have followed suit “It’s so great to see this road coming back to life.”  Subiaco was ranked the most liveable place in Australia according to a social research survey conducted by Place Score Snazzy new housing developments are emerging throughout the suburb, including the site of the long-time derelict Subiaco Markets on Rokeby Road, which now boasts the stylish apartment and retail complex, Subiaco One The recently announced Subi East redevelopment project, the former site of Subiaco Oval, is set to deliver 430 new affordable homes. “Subiaco is not a low-price area – it’s definitely at the premium end of Perth,” said Damian Collins. “But I think that’s changing as more new developments arrive.” According to PopTrack, the median price for a home in Subiaco is currently $1.8 million, while apartments are $528,000. In comparison, the median price for a house in Perth is $839,000, though units are more expensive at a median of $566,000. Cherubino City Cellar, Rokeby Road, Subiaco. Picture: Supplied Daniel-Paul Filippi, Principal of The Agency Projects WA, said demand in Subiaco is being driven by young families seeking new homes and excellent schools. “Whereas traditionally it was an older suburb of wealthy professional families, we’re now seeing younger, predominantly immigrant families that are moving into these new apartment developments,” Mr Filippi explained. “You can still buy a three-bedroom apartment for circa $900,000 and I’ve sold a lot of three bedders to young families moving to Subi for under one million, as opposed to them buying a house in the area.” Mr Filippi also noted the changing demographic of Subiaco residents. “In the last 10 to 15 years specifically, it’s become far more multicultural than it ever was.

Normally you’d try and get back within 12 months We always said this is her draft year so it’s important to make sure that there’s no lingering affects from that so we’ve just been a bit slow and

one who her athleticism stood out in the testing and she was probably a borderline selection but she made the summer squad really based on that testing and she’s really excelled in the program her footy’s coming along really well and with that run we see her as being a player who can probably play on a wing going forward.” Sunni-Quay PetersTall Utility | 172cm | 29/01/2007 “Sunni’s a very

Complementing Sheppard and making the move from the east to the west coast Steane might be six years older than her partner in crime but will bring equal amounts of toughness around the ball She adds

He said it was not unusual to have schools in inner-city areas using playing fields outside that area “There is basically no greenery at Mercedes College,” he said as an example “We are not building the school in an outlying suburb which has more greenfield land; this is an inner city densely populated area with many demands.” UEM Sunrise said it had “incorporated best practices in urban design and planning” at The Oval and was collaborating closely with the community and state government Start the day with a summary of the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.

last Friday – is blending wellness with a social welcoming spirit to create what founder Scott Taylor and general manager Lauren Grant are calling “hosvitality” With an unpretentious fit-out designed for regular community-style sauna sessions without the sterile gym feel or the exclusivity of a luxe spa Melt houses two high-spec saunas and a cold plunge The sauna fits 24 people and the cold plunge can comfortably accommodate 12 Temperatures hover at 88 to 93 degrees for the sauna Taylor says sessions are intentionally affordable and accessible at $25 for 30 minutes or $35 for a full hour Founder Taylor tells Broadsheet it’s the “hosvitality” ethos that sets Melt apart “[Melt’s] designed like a bar – the fit-out the lighting and the post- and pre- sauna session seating What you’d normally do in traditional hospitality arenas [is] totally appropriate to come and do [here].” Make sure you're subscribed to our newsletter today To seal the deal the space is complete with an array

early-20th-century theatre on Subiaco’s main street has won a reprieve after a three-hour sledging match in which heritage conservationists and the council went head-to-head with development giant Sanur The inner-metro development assessment panel heard 22 presentations from the public The development panel sided with a large cohort of residents who presented to the meeting in support of retaining the theatre.Credit: City of Subiaco Speakers for Sanur claimed hopes to save the 1912-built Hay Street theatre were “wishful thinking” as the building was “at the point of collapse” I stood in front of the City of Subiaco Council and told them that these buildings were dangerous No one believed me,” Sanur urban design consultant Malcolm Mackay said “I’ve since been vindicated by every single structural engineer who has looked at the buildings “I’ve had far too many sleepless nights wondering whether tomorrow is the day of a collapse.” the site would be redeveloped as a retail precinct Mackay said the developer had done everything to “make Hay Street safe again” while the City had done everything it could to ensure the “public remained at risk” vehemently denying claims the building was on the verge of collapse “The city has engaged experts who have provided data and reports … [demonstrating] that the buildings are not at an imminent risk of collapse and don’t require demolition,” Madeline Madvad of McLeods Lawyers said In 2021 the matter went before the State Administrative Tribunal where concerns about the structural integrity of the building and its facade were ruled out Sanur’s so-far thwarted concept for a planned retail precinct on Hay Street.Credit: Mackay Urban Design Madvad said the findings of the tribunal then were still applicable and many of the heritage values of the building remained salvageable “The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the city structural engineer David Katz who is still the city’s structural engineer the tribunal found that the remedial works for 440 Hay Street would reinstate the structural integrity of the facade and ensure long-term stability and durability,” she said David Katz’s opinion of these buildings has not changed; he still thinks that these are not at an imminent risk of collapse.” the panel sided with a large cohort of local residents who presented to the meeting in support of retaining the theatre “I think it’s very clear that these buildings provide a significant contribution to the heritage fabric of the area,” panel member and City of Subiaco Councillor Simon White said “That is a black-and-white issue; it’s not something that’s slippery; it’s something that we can stand by.” The sledging match started before the meeting even began after Sanur issued a statement Tuesday morning accusing the City had put the public at risk by removing protective boarding confirmed it shared Sanur’s concern at the City’s alteration to an engineered scaffold which now left all counterweights and scaffold supports exposed to the public,” the statement said It said multiple structural engineers had advised the building was unoccupiable and a danger to public safety “Sanur believes the decision to remove the boarding the day before a DAP meeting that will determine the fate of the buildings is a last-minute stunt on the part of the City of Subiaco and could constitute a breach of its duty of care as a local government authority “The City of Subiaco has done everything in its power to ensure the buildings remain in their current state including misusing ‘heritage’ as a blanket anti-development tool to prevent development rather than to ensure the feasible retention of the best of the past.” Subiaco Mayor David McMullen said multiple engineers and the State Administrative Tribunal had already determined the building’s integrity remove the boards yesterday to enable the Development Assessment Panel members to see the heritage buildings at a site inspection this morning “City staff and engineers are confident that the boards (which were on City land) didn’t serve any structural purpose; and their removal does not pose any safety threat to the community.” Sanur is
