Welshpool is an inner southeastern suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located mostly within the City of Canning and partially within the Town of Victoria Park.

Contents

The area is one of the main industrial areas of Perth, along with Kewdale, Kwinana Beach, Henderson, Malaga, O'Connor, Canning Vale and Osborne Park. [2]

It is the location of the Welshpool railway station.

Welshpool is visually known for its 3 complexes of silo towers. These house storage of feed products for the poultry and agricultural industries.

Welshpool is a traditional industrial suburb partly to the fact of its proximity to Perth Airport and short distance to the Perth CBD.

Welshpool is named after the town of Welshpool in Wales.

Transport

Welshpool was home to Welshpool railway station; it was located on the Armadale and Thornlie lines.

In the twentieth century the railway station yard was connected to a number of active sidings, including in the second world war to a munitions factory, [3] however by the 2000s all sidings had been removed.

Welshpool Station closed in 2023 due to the modernisation of the railway line and low patronage. Welshpool Station was not connected to bus routes, though routes 282 and 283 are located close by on Welshpool Road. Both these routes run from Elizabeth Quay bus station to Kalamunda bus station. Welshpool Station was closed on November 20th 2023 and was demolished soon after.
