Churchlands

DESCRIPTION

ContributorCommunity HistoryTypeSuburbHistory

This suburb became known as "Churchlands" after being purchased by the Catholic Church in 1891. European settlement of Churchlands began with the granting of land in the area to Henry Trigg in 1831 and the Hokin family in 1834. Both grants were of 200 acres and were later acquired by William Strickland. The land was eventually purchased by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Perth, the Right Reverend Matthew Gibney, in 1891. In 1950 the police stables were relocated from Shenton Park to Churchlands, where they remained for the next 25 years. Herdsman Lake is an important regional recreational area and wildlife sanctuary offering a number of educational and passive recreational opportunities for both the local residents and the wider community.
