A PERTH sex club has vowed to go down swinging - by holding three more raunchy events before it is forced to shut.
Burswood Swingers Club, where couples meet and swap partners for thrills, has been embroiled with Victoria Park Council in a two-year battle for survival.
The council says the club has been operating illegally because the building has approval for use only as a workshop/factory.
Councillors have agreed to engage lawyers to close the club, after a fact-finding mission under police escort found the premises, in Claude St, were being used for wild sex parties.
"The operation did involve surveillance but legal proceedings prevent us from elaborating," council chief executive Arthur Kyron said.
But a report to councillors says: "The evidence gathered confirms that the property is allegedly being used for the purposes of a swingers club."
The club's website brags it is the biggest in Perth, complete with a dance floor and stripper's pole.
"There is also a large heated spa, dark room, massage room and two private rooms downstairs, ideal for couple-swapping," the website says.
"Our swingers club is the ideal place to explore your fantasies and sexual desires. If you are looking for couple swapping, bi-girls, bi-guys, group sex, or simply just looking for friends we are the place to be."
It accepts "donations" of up to $125 for single males, $60 for couples and $10 for single females.
The club also publishes a swinging rules and etiquette guide, which advises punters to practise safe sex and "bring your own lubricant".
The Burswood Swingers Club manager said yesterday the venue would close in a few weeks unless it could resolve the situation with the council.
The manager, who does not want to be named, said he planned to hold a number of parties before the shutdown, including a New Year's Eve bash. He claimed the club had actually helped to clean up the area, rather than bring it into disrepute.
"It's industrial with quite a few vacant buildings in the street," he said. "It's an area prone to anti-social behaviour in the nature of groups of youth congregating and drinking.
"There has been all sorts of things in the street prior to us moving in. But, because we've got people coming and going and because we run a tight rein on things the street is now very safe."
He said the club had been responsible for only three complaints in the two years it had been open and they were from competitors, not residents.
