Perth Glory owner Ross Pelligra is in talks with an inner-ring Perth council about using the city’s biggest development site in a decade, which includes a former municipal rubbish tip, as the base for a $1 billion new training ground mixed-use development to support the struggling A-League team.

Pelligra, who acquired 13th-ranked Perth Glory after they fell into receivership in 2023, confirmed he has been in talks with the City of Stirling to use the 10-hectare property, once a landfill site alongside the Mitchell Freeway, but said it was not the only property in consideration.
