Timing of a declaration can be very challenging. Both teams were chasing the additional points to remain competitive in the shortened Shield competition which has been further abbreviated to 8 rounds plus a final. I think the run rate required for WA to win was 4.5 per over which was achievable however once early wickets fell, the target was out of reach.

Should have listened to Warnie and declared when 200 in front.
