Gosnells
Gosnells sits on Albany Highway beside the Canning River, south-east of Perth, and is the administrative centre of the City of Gosnells. Its town centre lies between the river and the foothills of the Darling Scarp, around Gosnells Station on the Armadale Line.
The housing
The 2021 Census counted 8,936 private dwellings in Gosnells. Of the occupied ones, 80.9 per cent were separate houses, 15.7 per cent were semi-detached, row or terrace houses and townhouses, and 3.0 per cent were flats or apartments. The City describes remnant orchards and established landscapes around the town centre.
Shops and cafes
Gosnells Central Shopping Complex at 2164 Albany Highway opened in 1975 and was refurbished in 2003. It has a Coles supermarket, specialty shops and parking for 350 cars. The City’s Civic Centre and the Knowledge Centre library at The Agonis are also on Albany Highway, and the Orange Room local history display is at the entry to the library.
Parks and open space
Mary Carroll Park, just over 22 hectares off Verna Street and Eudoria Street, is a wetland and bird sanctuary with a lake viewing platform, an all-abilities playground, barbecues and a path circuit, about a 10 minute walk from the station. The City of Gosnells Museum at Wilkinson Homestead, 34 Homestead Road, sits in parkland beside the Canning River, next to the grave of the Davis family.
Getting around
Gosnells Station is on the Armadale Line, which reopened on 12 October 2025 after the line’s shutdown. The station opened in April 2005, about 300 metres closer to Perth than the old one. Bus routes 215 and 216 run from the station to Thornlie Station, and the circular routes 231 and 232 loop through the suburb by way of Chamberlain Street, Southern River Road and King Street.
Education
Government primary schools are Gosnells Primary School at 173 Hicks Street, Seaforth Primary School on Verna Street and Ashburton Drive Primary School at 6 Nullagine Way. St Munchin’s Catholic School at 1 Isdell Place takes children from Pre Kindy to Year 6. Southern River College, on Southern River Road in Southern River, teaches Years 7 to 12.
What is coming
The City’s Lissiman Street Improvement Plan guides the redevelopment of Main Street properties near the station. The City gives no timeline for it.
