Tuart Hill

The local community describes Tuart Hill as a quiet and family focused neighbourhood. 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 Tuart Hill’s neighbourhood and helps the City rethink how we deliver services with a local focus.

Tuart Hill acquired its name from majestic stands of tuart trees (eucalyptus gomphocephala) that once grew extensively throughout the area.

What it means to be a 'local'

What you've told us so far

Local issues

Local focus

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

  • Road and traffic management - "Put new traffic lights with turning arrows at the intersection of Main Street and Royal Street it is a death trap."
  • Development - "A high density precinct centred around the Main Street District Centre."
  • Trees and greening - "Focus on planting a lot more trees and bring in cheap changes to make the area look more unique, colourful, neat and less depressing."
  • Crime prevention - "Verge dumping, local crime, control of cats."
  • Trees and greening - "Trees PLEASE for shade for residential streets and to reduce summer temperatures and make walking possible. This also requires some underground power." 

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.

How can I view and receive my Rates Notices?
