Cliff Street is a street in Fremantle, Western Australia. It is the furthest west cross street on High Street, running parallel to Mouat Street.
The proximity to government offices, and the connection between the Swan River and the ocean jetties, made the street a significant thoroughfare in the early stages of Fremantle development
In the 1860s an early union organization, the Western Australian Working Men's Association chose rooms in Cliff Street after their Phillimore Street rooms lease was finished. [1]
In the late 1880s and early 1900s offices were established for a range of businesses and organisations, such as the West Australian newspaper in 1886, [2]
By the early 1900s street was an important part of the route of the Fremantle Tramway system, as the tram shed had been situated just west of the junction of Cliff Street with High Street.
It is also at the south western edge of University of Notre Dame campus buildings. It is part of the Fremantle West End Heritage area, which was established in late 2016. [3] [4] [5] Heritage buildings found along Cliff Street include:
