"A Perth based design firm has proposed Australia's first ever Wave Garden, but in order to build it, they'll have to knock down Western Australia's largest football stadium"

Subiaco is a suburb on the outskirts of the Perth CBD, just to the west and sits between the City and Scarborough Beach. At its heart, is Domain Stadium, official known as Subiaco Oval. Home to the West Coast Eagles AFL team, also occasionally hosting a soccer team or two; it's Western Australia's largest stadium, seating 43,500 people. Subi Oval has even been graced with the presence of music greats, like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, U2 and One Direction; but it's days may be numbered! MJA Studio in conjunction with 'The Wave Park Group' have just released plans for the stadium, which include demolishing it entirely, and replacing it with a Wave Garden. The design for the artificial wave pool is almost a carbon copy of the Welsh Wave Garden, complete with businesses, shops, cafe's, apartments and terraces surrounding a giant wave pool for surfers, capable of pushing out two waves in perfect peeling harmony. To keep the footy fans happy, the West Australian Football Hall of Fame will be incorporated into the buildings, as well as an elevated public park with views over the wave pool and surrounding areas. Pro surfer Taj Burrow is featured in their promo, saying: "People who work in an office would be like: 'I'm going to the gym, but instead i'm doing something way more fun! I'm going to a wave pool! I know i'd take that over the gym. I think it would kill it!" He may just be right, with the surfing community in WA growing every year, and increased demand for new and exciting ideas within walking distance of the City, a Wave pool fits the bill for Perth. Subiaco is prime real estate for such a development, in fact it's probably the only viable place to build a surf complex like this within hours of the CBD. With a fourth Wave Garden already being built in Texas, USA; the technology is proven to produce good quality waves for those prepared to pay for them. Sessions cost around $50 for a couple of waves worth, with season passes and bulk discounts offered to regulars. Surfing the waves is a slightly different ball-game to real-world waves, with surfers needing to stay a little higher on the wave than usual; and of course very close to the pocket. Do you think the citizens of Perth will replace footballs for surfboards? Or will the Footy fans demand that Subi Oval stays?
