AustraliaThe City of Perth is considering approving a development application for a new adults-only club called the Pink Rabbit Club, which would offer consensual sexual activities for the LGBTQI+ community at a site currently occupied by an adult retail store. Despite significant community opposition, with over 290 objections received during public consultation, the city is moving forward with a recommendation for approval. The proposed venue aims to create a 'sex-positive, inclusive, and affirming' environment focused on social connection, education, and intimacy. The building previously faced enforcement action in 2025 after unauthorized activities were reported on the upper floor, though these were later halted. The current application seeks to redevelop the upper floor for the new club.
