It may not have that fog but as it’s only a few miles from Perth and at the bottom of the scarp as well very good chance Pearce is affected by the same fog as Perth. Way too close to be considered a practical alternate.
Best bet is for all jet operators be capable of conducting low vis approaches. This isn’t a new concept, Tridents were doing low visibility approaches in the early 60s.
