History of South Perth

The City of South Perth is a local government area located in the inner southern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) south of Perth’s central business district. Covering an area of 19.9 square kilometers (7.7 square miles), it manages 203 kilometers (126 miles) of roads and over 4.3 square kilometers of parks and gardens. According to the 2016 Census, the population was around 42,000. The City of South Perth constitutes the entire state electoral district of South Perth. After the 2013 redistribution, an area of Kensington was incorporated into South Perth. However, due to declining population growth in Victoria Park, part of the City may revert back in the future.

The City is situated on a peninsula, bordered on three sides by the Swan and Canning rivers.

The South Perth Road District was established on 9 June 1892 and became the Municipality of South Perth on 21 February 1902. It reverted to a road district on 1 March 1922, but regained municipality status on 1 March 1956, and was granted city status on 1 July 1959.

In 2014, the Western Australian State Government proposed a local government reform plan that included amalgamating the City of South Perth with the Town of Victoria Park and a significant portion of the City of Canning. A poll was held from January to February 2015, asking residents, “Should the City of South Perth and the Town of Victoria Park be abolished and amalgamated to form a new local government?” The informal suggested name for the new entity was ‘City of South Park’.

To block the amalgamation, at least 50% of electors from either local government needed to vote, and more than half of those votes had to be against the proposal. By the end of the poll on 7 February 2015, 50.83% of South Perth’s 26,789 electors had voted, with 77.75% opposing the merger. Although only 38.02% of Victoria Park’s 20,136 electors voted, 61.58% of those votes were against the proposal. The high turnout in South Perth was sufficient to prevent the amalgamation, ensuring that the City of South Perth and the Town of Victoria Park remained separate entities.
