Perth - apart from Optus, you have the WACA, Leederville, Fremantle, Bassendean Oval and Joondalup as options.  Some of them would need a bit of love perhaps. Bassendean would be great for access to the Swan Valley, Leederville has a town centre which could be closed off - we had the WAFL grand final there a few years ago, Fremantle - obvious one with the historic town centre, Joondalup could involve the Northern Suburbs. The WACA is basically a 10 minute walk from Optus, so you could have a whole activation there on a Saturday or Sunday with people being able to travel between the two venues.

Claremont, Lathlain, East Fremantle and Rushton Park, Mandurah probably too small.

Bunbury I guess is an option like they have this year, but it's 2 hours from Perth, so kind of defeats the "gathering" aspect of the occasion.

It would be great to have it here, but I doubt it will happen, unless the State Government really puts their hand in their pockets.
