The housing
The City of Stirling describes the suburb as mostly single detached houses on relatively large lots, largely of modern brick construction, with many designs showing Southern European influences and a high share of two-storey houses. A pocket of older houses from the 1970s sits next to Osborne Park Hospital. At the 2021 Census Stirling had 3,885 private dwellings, and 86.9 per cent of occupied dwellings were separate houses, 12.1 per cent semi-detached, row or terrace houses or townhouses, and 1.0 per cent flats or apartments.
Shops and cafes
Stirling Village shopping centre has a supermarket and a range of specialty shops, and smaller local shops are spread through the suburb. The Stirling Farmers Market, run by the Rotary Club of Karrinyup, is held every Sunday morning from 7.30am to 11.30am at the City of Stirling Administration Building.
Parks and open space
Stirling has 58 hectares of public open space, made up of 36 local, four community and one district open space. Stirling Civic Gardens on Cedric Street, opposite the Administration Building, has winding paths, gardens, natural areas and a playground. The State Government has committed funding for park improvements at Caratti Reserve, Shearwater Spoonbill Reserve and Sheldrake Reserve.
Getting around
Stirling Station is on the Yanchep Line. The upgraded Stirling Bus Interchange opened to passengers on 2 August 2026 and now has 29 bus stands, up from 18. Routes from the interchange include 402, 403, 410, 412 to 415, 421 to 425, 427, 428 and the CircleRoute services 998 and 999. The Stephenson Avenue bridge over the freeway and the railway, linking Cedric Street with Scarborough Beach Road, opened on 13 December 2025, and a new Cedric Street entry to the station’s southern car park opened on 5 September 2026.
Education
The City of Stirling’s suburb page does not list a school inside Stirling itself. Balcatta Senior High School, a Years 7 to 12 school, is on Amelia Street just to the north, on the Balcatta side of the boundary.
What is coming
Stirling sits within the area the City of Stirling plans as Stirling City, next to the Herdsman Glendalough area. The City says more than $350 million in State and Federal spending on new transport infrastructure has opened up vacant land there, and it is spending $2.2 million on remediation investigations while it prepares a land staging and subdivision plan. Changes to the centre’s boundary are being made through Local Planning Scheme No. 4, after which the activity centre plan is to be amended and readvertised. Main Roads WA says finishing works on the Stephenson Avenue Extension will continue for the rest of 2026.
