(formally Yugoslav Centre of WA (Inc))

In about 1934 a group of peopled dreamed of having a Yugoslav Club in Perth, WA.

According to the late Davor Viskovich, land in Main Street, Osborne Park was donated to Mr Geneff.

Four years of voluntary labour and donations resulted in the opening of the new Hall for the Sloga Yugoslav Educational and Cultural Club on 11th June 1938.

Oreski Club which was formed before 1939 was re-organised to become the Jadran Jugoslav Cultural Club (Inc) in 1958.

By 1964 the Jadran Club had purchased a house and land on the corner of Scarborough Beach Road and Eton Street in North Perth.

A joint meeting of the Jadran and Sloga reprenstatives was held in October 1967.  Both Clubs agreed that the proposed amalgamation of the two Clubs would be in the best interests of the Club Members and Yugoslav migrants generally.

It was decided that both Club properties be disposed of when the almagamtion took place and that suitable land be found.

In April 1968 the Jadran Club Members made a unanimous decision to amalgamate with the Sloga Club of Osborne Park.

The amalgamated Clubs agreed to purchase land in Jones Street, Balcatta.

In August 1968 a $10,000 deposit was paid to Agents.  Agreements to amalgamate were signed by Sloga and Jadran Seal Holders.

In December 1968 the new Club with the name Yugoslav Club of WA (Inc) was formed.

In 1969 Jadran agreed to sell their land at Scarborough Beach Road for the price of $82,500.

The Sloga Club’s property in Main Street, Osborne Park was also sold.

New clubrooms, hall and bowling greens were completed at 78 Jones Street, Balcatta, Western Australia.

The WA Yugoslav Club was officially opened on 2nd May 1971.
