[edit] Moved Article

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)

[edit] Content

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. Orderinchaos78 15:51, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

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

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)

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).
