What is Swans District?
The Swans District Football Development Council (SDFDC) exists to grow, develop and promote football throughout the Swans District.

The SDFDC is seeking to partner with likeminded companies to support the delivery of exciting community development programs in the City of Swan, Shire of Chittering, Shire of Kalamunda, Shire of Mundaring and Town of Bassendean.

The Swans District vision is to provide the most innovative, inclusive and professional sporting experience in Western Australia.

The core business of the Swans District is the governance of AFL within our local district; promoting and developing the game; managing competitions, overseeing clubs, expanding and developing our relationships with schools and community groups and the enhancement of facilities. 

The key stakeholders in the Swans District include junior clubs, senior clubs, primary schools, secondary schools, local government, state government, federal government and Swan Districts Football Club. 

But, with the population continuing to evolve in the City of Swan, other stakeholders are becoming increasingly important including Filipino Australian Sports Association (FASA) Indian Society of WA (ISWA) & Vietnamese Community Association.

The Swans District has a number of diverse challenges with more than 15% of people in the City of Swan coming from countries where English was a second language.

The United Kingdom, New Zealand, India, Vietnam and South Africa represent the biggest slice of naitonalities in the City of Swan, which is why designing AFL programs to increase participation in new markets must remain a key priority for the Swans District now and into the future.
