The housing
The City of Nedlands heritage inventory records Federation cottages and Queen Anne houses from about 1900 to 1915, many in pairs along Rockton Road, timber and brick bungalows from the 1920s on Meriwa and Loftus Streets, and Old English and Spanish Mission houses from the 1930s. Blocks of flats also went up between the wars, such as Stirling Court at 48 Stirling Highway in 1935 and Portland Flats at 55 Stirling Highway in 1940. At the 2021 Census there were 4,079 private dwellings, and 75.2 per cent of occupied ones were separate houses, 15.7 per cent townhouses or semi-detached and 9.1 per cent flats or apartments.
Shops and cafes
Stirling Highway is the main shopping strip. The Windsor at 100 Stirling Highway opened as a picture theatre on 10 September 1937 and is still a cinema, with a second screen added in 1988 where its outdoor picture garden used to be. The old Nedlands Post Office at 35 Stirling Highway and the Captain Stirling Hotel at number 80 are both on the City’s heritage list.
Parks and open space
The Peace Memorial Rose Garden on Stirling Highway was dedicated on 22 October 1950 to remember those who died in war. When the Nedlands Park Tramway Estate was surveyed in 1907, its river foreshore was kept for public recreation, and the Nedlands jetty and baths were built there in 1908 and 1909.
Getting around
Route 950, a high-frequency bus, runs between Morley Station and the QEII Medical Centre through the city and the University of WA, stopping at Hampden Road and Stirling Highway. Routes 23, 24 and 25 link Nedlands with Claremont Station, by way of the university, QEII and Hollywood Private Hospital.
Education
Nedlands Primary School at 35 Kingsway dates from 1913, with Kindergarten and Pre-primary at its early childhood centres and Years 1 to 6 on the main site. Hollywood Primary School at 117 Monash Avenue opened in 1935 and teaches Kindergarten to Year 6. The University of Western Australia uses the former Nedlands Secondary Teachers College site at Stirling Highway and Hampden Road as its Nedlands Campus.
