Menora
Menora is a small residential suburb in the City of Stirling, north of Walcott Street, that grew out of the area once known as Mount Lawley. Its streets were laid out on garden suburb lines, with curving roads, green verges and parks within walking distance, and most of the suburb sits inside the City’s Heritage Protection Area.

The housing
Menora is mostly single houses, with inter-war character homes among later houses. The State heritage inventory records Inter-War California Bungalows at 1 Hill Street, dating from about 1922, and 31 Clyde Road, from about 1935. Because most of the suburb is in the Heritage Protection Area, demolitions, renovations, extensions and new buildings need development approval, and in March 2026 the City consulted on a draft character retention policy for Mount Lawley and Menora. The City also notes several homes for senior citizens in the suburb.
Shops and services
The City describes a strip of commercial development along Walcott Street, on Menora’s southern side, giving residents access to local shops and services. A synagogue on Plantation Street, opened in 1973, remains a focus for Perth’s Jewish community.
Parks and open space
The City counts 12 local open spaces in Menora, plus one community and one district open space. Most are for quiet recreation; the exception is the tennis centre in Alexander Park, home of the Alexander Park Tennis Club. Ron Stone Park and the park on Dumbarton Crescent are other local green spaces.
Getting around
Alexander Drive runs north through the suburb and Walcott Street runs along its southern side. Transperth route 960, which links Mirrabooka Bus Station with Perth Busport and Curtin University, uses Alexander Drive. Transperth has announced changes to route 960 from 1 November 2026, so check the current timetable for stops and times.
Education
The City points to Saint Paul’s Primary School, to the south east of Menora. For public schools, check the Department of Education’s intake areas for a specific address.
