This multipurpose recreation centre provides facilities for theNoranda Junior Football Club, East Perth Development Squad, the Noranda EDU Senior FootballClub and the Morley Tee Ball Association.The recreation centre’s neighbouring bushland is considered environmentally significant in termsof its flora and fauna and the area is cared for by the Friends of Lightning Swamp – a grouppredominantly comprising residents from the City of Bayswater.Page 3Proposed Local Government Boundary Change Noranda
