The suburb of Claremont is located about 9 km west of the centre of Perth and at its heart lies “the Quarter” – an area where people can shop, eat, work, socialise and live without having to get into a car and go anywhere. It’s like a village within a town within a city!

Its official address is 9 Bayview Terrace but the large block is bordered by the Terrace, St Quentin Avenue, Gugeri Street and Bovell Lane.

The idea behind the Claremont Quarter began 15 years ago but it was only in February last year that the final stage was officially opened.

The news often has stories, especially around the holidays, about which store is cheaper for a variety of items.
