Situated 7km from Perth GPO, this suburb began as a State Housing Commission project in 1948. The land had been acquired by Henry Manning of High Holburn, London, in 1856, and Manning's grandson, John Daniel Manning had a dairy here. He was a prominent citizen, and was Chairman of the South Perth Road Board in 1894, 1896-7 and 1899-1901. During subdivision the name Manning Estate was used and Manning eventually became the official name of the area. 

With the magnificent Swan River and Perth skyline as its backdrop, South Perth is a fantastic suburb to call home. Combined with many accessible shopping precincts and cafe strips, South Perth has a bustling, cosmopolitan atmosphere.
