Set on the north bank of the Canning River and just minutes from Curtin University, Wilson pairs a relaxed, riverside lifestyle with easy access to some of Perth's best-connected shopping and study precincts.

Riverside living

The Canning River foreshore runs along Wilson's southern edge, with Kent Street Weir Park offering picnic spots, walking trails and river access, plus the Castledare Miniature Railway and Lo Quay River Cafe nearby for a lazy weekend.

Green spaces

Beyond the river, residents are close to Centenary Park, Sir Thomas Moore Park, Wilson Park and Alderley Park – plenty of shaded, open ground for walking the dog or letting the kids run free.

Study & work close by

Wilson's proximity to Curtin University has long made it a favourite with students and academics, while quick access to Manning Road and Leach Highway keeps the commute into the city short.

Well connected

Multiple Transperth bus routes (72, 73, 100, 177, 178, 179 and the CircleRoute 998/999) run through the suburb, linking Wilson to Cannington Station, Bull Creek Station and Elizabeth Quay in the city.

Retail convenience

Westfield Carousel in Cannington is a short drive away for major shopping, dining and entertainment, with the boutique strips of South Perth also within easy reach.

Established community

An older, leafy suburb with a settled feel, Wilson is home to a diverse mix of families, couples and students – with Wilson Primary School serving the local community.
