East Perth 1948 - 2010 Landgate Aerial Photography]}} East Perth is an inner suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located next to the Perth CBD. Claise Brook and Claisebrook Cove are within the suburb. Land usePrimarily an industrial area in the early twentieth century, it was the location of the East Perth Gas Works, East Perth Power Station (which was decommissioned and the building is being renovated for other purposes), the East Perth railway yard, and engine sheds. From the early 1980s, virtually all of the residential real estate on the western side of Lord Street became home to commercial enterprises; the buildings remain, either single or duplex dwellings previously inhabited mostly by migrant families.{{citation needed|date = August 2012}} PopulationIn the 2016 Census, there were 10,596 people in East Perth. 30.3% of people were born in Australia.

Its condition is marginal due to the loss of many headstones and lack of adequate record of graves, only 800 of the estimated 10,000 grave sites have been identified.[2][3] RailwayThe former East Perth railway yard and engine sheds were removed in the 1960s and have been redeveloped into the Railway headquarters - consolidating a very scattered system of offices and sections for the railways. East Perth serves as the main hub for country and interstate rail services and Road Coach services. Departing from the station are services such as the Prospector, AvonLink, tourist trains, and the most famous train in Australia, the Indian Pacific. The original East Perth railway station is now called Claisebrook, and while it has the same number of platforms that it did in the 1960s, the original buildings have given way to modern shelters. It is also the location of the Goongoongup Bridge on the railway to Bunbury for the South Western Railway. Redevelopment AuthorityEast Perth Redevelopment Authority (EPRA) was established in 1991[4] to manage the redevelopment and urbanisation of the suburb.[5] In 2011 EPRA merged with other redevelopment authorities to become the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority[6] SportsSporting attractions include the WACA Ground and Gloucester Park Trotting Ground. EducationEducational facilities include Trinity College, a day school for boys, years 4–12. See also
