Moved Article[edit]

The original artcile and discussions have been move to Town of Victoria Park as the article was about the LGA not the suburb. Gnangarra 07:39, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Content[edit]

I've filled out the stub somewhat, basing it to some extent on other articles like Duncraig, Western Australia. The biggest thing needed now is a Facilities section, if it were earlier in the night I'd add one but it should contain education (including my alma mater - heh), shopping, health and elderly services, something about events at McCallum Park, etc, anything else that counts as a facility. I'd be happy to do it on Saturday but if anyone wants a shot, go for your life. Same goes for the history section, I literally did a run and dump off DLI.

East Vic Park is now in South Perth electorate.....![edit]

It might also be worth mentioning that East vic Park is now in the South Perth Lower House electorate, being split off after the last State election. A number of people were caught off-guard by this piece of WAEC villainy, including the ALP which deluged the area with HTV's in the by-election this year. Gordon | Talk, 3 November 2006 @14:48 UTC

Well, half of it :) The boundary is now basically Berwick Street and Hill View Terrace, so anything on the Albany Highway side of that border is still in the VP electorate. I did find this ironic during the byelection (i.e. a suburb called EVP being in large part outside VP). Oddly, one candidate lived in the bit of EVP that was excluded. One other interesting one - the VP-South Perth line in Bentley is one block back from a main road (Lawson Street), in one case bisecting another road. When I was letterboxing there I wasn't quite sure which houses were in and which were out. The other one which is the bane of all letterboxers - Berwick Street is in. Both sides. Orrong Road is in. Only the facing side. Bloody WAEC. Orderinchaos78 16:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh I've just realised why the comment is here - in the Politics section I was meaning Park Rec and the primary school in Beatty Avenue when saying EVP. I intended to expand on this later (see the Duncraig article above).
