Additional information

With a history stretching back to the days of early settlement, Mount Lawley was formally established in 1901 and was named in honour of Sir Arthur Lawley, the Governor of Western Australia from May 1901 to August 1902.

Today Mt Lawley is a popular inner city suburb bounded by leafy streets that are largely characterised by Federation and Colonial style homes with some fine examples of art-deco and Californian bungalow styles.

The majority of houses are single detached dwellings of brick and tile construction on large lots. There are also some group and multiple unit developments dispersed throughout the suburb, particularly around Beaufort Street. Many of the older character homes have been renovated and preserved.

Add this history to proximity to the city and the banks of the Swan River with parks and cycle tracks, the vibrant Beaufort Street precinct and great amenities, it’s easy to see why Mt Lawley is one of Perth’s favourite inner city suburbs.
