The housing
Much of the river frontage opened up once Salter Point Parade was built, and from 1974 the City’s planning scheme limited building heights between Salter Point Parade and River Way to protect views across the Canning River. The former Mount Henry Hospital site was subdivided for houses after the hospital closed in 1999.
Parks and open space
Sandon Park on Salter Point Parade has its own lake. Hope Avenue Reserve reopened in September 2026 with a new play space, and Jan-doo Park gained a new playground in 2025. The Mount Henry peninsula bushland is a Bush Forever site.
Getting around
Transperth routes 30 and 31 link Salter Point with South Perth and the city. Transperth has announced changes to route 30 from 1 November 2026, so check the current timetable for stops and times. The Kwinana Freeway and Canning Bridge station are a short drive away.
Education
Aquinas College, a Catholic day and boarding school for boys, is at 58 Mount Henry Road. For primary schooling, Manning Primary and Curtin Primary are next door in Manning. Check the Department of Education’s intake areas for a specific address.
