2016 National Premier Leagues WA
The 2016 National Premier Leagues WA season was played over 22 rounds commencing 19 March 2016, followed by the return of a Top 4 Finals series. Despite the flagged return of a promotion/relegation system for the bottom team,[2] it was determined after the season ended that no State League Division One club met all the criteria for promotion, and that the teams in the 2017 season would remain unchanged.[3] This decision was changed 3 weeks later, with Football West stating that both Joondalup United and Mandurah City would be promoted, and their overall promotion criteria would be reviewed.[4]
