City of Stirling - Inglewood

The local community describes Inglewood as vibrant, friendly, connected. To better understand what is means to be ‘a local’ our suburb profile seeks to understand the local stories Koora (past), Yeyi (present), Boordawan (future) and respond to Ngalang Maya (our place). This snapshot identifies the unique character of Inglewood’s neighbourhood and helps the City rethink how we deliver services with a local focus.

Inglewood has a high heritage value, with cultural and historical significance.

With a name thought to have been derived from the Norwegian barque Inglewood (its voyage was mentioned in The West Australian on May 24, 1904), the suburb of Inglewood began when land was first granted to John Gregory in 1831.

Regarded as part of Maylands in the early years, Inglewood was initially developed by a company called Gold Estates of Australia and a section now referred to as 'The Avenues' was the first to be subdivided. This development included area from the railway line to North Street and eventually through to Eleventh Avenue and Dundas Road; the latter subdivision was named Inglewood Estate.

Significant landmarks

Significant landmarks include the prominent clock tower on the corner of Beaufort Street and Dundas Road, highly visible to northbound traffic along Beaufort Street, and the Inglewood Civic Centre, opened in 1991, incorporating the local library, an autumn centre and children's centre.

These are the top local priorities you've told us about what's important for Inglewood:

Crime prevention - "Preventing break-ins."
Trees and greening - "Native plants for local wildlife."
Trees and greening - "Maintaining green space and tree canopy. Halt subdivision which is deleting trees and changing the character of the neighbourhood (traffic, density, hardscaping, etc)"
Underground power - "Underground power, which will hopefully deliver better street lighting! Some streets are very gloomy and unsafe at night." "Underground power to help preserve street trees, improve the environment."
Roads & traffic management - "Ensure that the Beaufort Street crossing at the library is SAFE. Too many drivers go through red lights and exceed the 40 km/h speed limit."

The City has created Locally-led Stirling to drive deeper connection at a local suburb level to listen and respond with a local focus. At the heart of this Locally-led approach is an understanding that local people know what they need and a vision for everyone to get involved in shaping what it means to be “a local”.

We want to bring neighbours together, invest in local stories and inspire opportunities to work together. To find out more about Locally-led Stirling, visit Shaping our City. If you're looking for ways to get involved in your local area, please contact one of the City’s Local Engagement Officers by emailing getinvolved@stirling.wa.gov.au.
