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'
Tuart Hill acquired its name from majestic stands of tuart trees (eucalyptus gomphocephala) that once grew extensively throughout the area. Tuart Hill was part of the original crown grant of 6,020 acres (2,436 hectares) taken by T. R. C. Walters in 1840.
In 1872 a road to the settlement of Wanneroo was constructed through the area and the many local tuart trees became a landmark to travellers. In 1905 Walters sold land at Tuart Hill to local developers.
Town Properties of Western Australia offered lots in the western portion of the Tuart Hill for sale, however development was relatively slow due to the perceived remoteness of the area. Prior to World War II, much of Tuart Hill was still used for rural purposes. The building of houses began to accelerate after the war and by the 1960s the suburb was fully developed.

What you have told us so far
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."
- 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 - "Security patrols and local crime."
- 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.
