West Perth is an inner suburb of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia.
Formerly an exclusive enclave for wealthy merchants and politicians, the West Perth suburb is now part of the inner mixed zone, and has predominantly office blocks which have displaced residential buildings.
The suburb has a relatively high proportion of miners, consultants, and especially medical specialists as compared with the Perth CBD. Streets such as Colin Street, Ord Street, and Outram Street have a significant percentage of office and high density residential buildings.
Most retail outlets are located on Hay Street, which is the main commercial zone for the suburb, and these are focused on serving the office population.
Closer to the CBD, the eastern edge of the suburb features both the Watertown brand outlet complex and the City West complex. [3] This location was home to the Perth Metropolitan Markets from 1929 to 1989, when they moved to Canning Vale. [4]
