Does anyone know of somewhere near Perth suitable for flying UAVs, or someone with a private runway?

WA Model Aircraft State centre has 3 sealed runways capable of large scale turbine jet aircraft. Its located 15km from Perth city. I am a member there, happy to host you. However, your aircraft would have to be flown as a "model aircraft" as opposed to a UAV, as its an MAAA flying field and I don't think UAVs are allowed. Strange because under Australian law, the only difference is that a UAV is a model aircraft that is flown for not for recreational purposes.

I am working this week (as usual), but if your aircraft is not too big, you can come past my work, we have a very large oval and we fly at lunch times on Thursday and Fridays, although weather forecast is not looking good for Friday.
