Lynwood
Lynwood is about 12 km south-east of the Perth CBD in the City of Canning. It was named in 1965 and built as a garden suburb for new British migrants, with Bannister Creek Park among its reserves.
The housing
Lynwood is mostly detached houses: the 2021 Census counted 1,518 private dwellings, and of the occupied ones 91.0 per cent were separate houses and 8.6 per cent were semi-detached, row or terrace houses and townhouses. Most of the suburb was developed from the mid-1960s, when the Realty Development Corporation sold house and land packages to migrants from Britain.
Parks and open space
The City of Canning lists 14 parks in Lynwood. Bannister Creek Park, with its playground at 23 Iveston Road, has a flying fox, nature play and native bushland, and an approved dog area between Metcalfe Road, Iveston Road and Bywood Way. Woodford Park on Woodford Road and Lynwood Avenue has a cricket wicket, change rooms and a barbecue, and Edgeware, Fleetwood and Queensville parks have dog exercise areas.
Getting around
Transperth’s timetable for routes 206 to 208, which run from Murdoch University by way of Murdoch and Ranford Road stations to Nicholson Road, Thornlie and Cannington stations, lists Lynwood among the suburbs served.
Education
Bannister Creek Primary School, an Independent Public School on Purley Crescent, teaches about 580 children from Kindergarten to Year 6.
