(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Lynwood ( 32°03'S, 115°56'E; post code: 6147) is a working-class, southeastern suburb of Perth, Western Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Canning.
Lynwood was first settled by Henry Willett of Willett & Co, who was granted Canning Location 21 on the Canning River (which included nearby Parkwood) and settled in the area in June 1832. In November 1964, the Shire of Canning proposed the names "Burtsdale" and "Willetton" for Willetton and Lynwood/Parkwood respectively, the name Burtsdale honouring Septimus Burt, who purchased the land in 1882. In August 1965, developers at Lynwood requested the name "Clovercrest Estate", but finally agreed to "Lynwood". The name Willetton was shifted westwards and Lynwood was gazetted in December 1965. Parkwood was part of Lynwood until 1993.
In the 1960s and 1970's, Lynwood and neighbouring Parkwood were largely settled by new migrants from the United Kingdom who arrived in Perth seeking economic prosperity. Large parcels of land were developed by the British firm Realty Development Corporation (RDC) and heavily marketed to the new English migrants upon their arrival as 'home & land packages'.
Lynwood is a residential suburb with a series of parks connecting along Bannister Creek and parallel to Nicholson Road. It contains a small neighbourhood shopping centre and community hall, as well as a primary school. Lynwood Senior High School is in nearby Parkwood and was built in 1975.
The Riverton Forum and Westfield Carousel shopping centres are less than 2 km away, as is the Riverton Leisureplex, a large facility with sporting, fitness and recreation facilities first opened on 9 November 2001, operated by the City of Canning and including the council's largest library. Parkwood Shopping Centre was built in 1979, but has recently been demolished due to low patronage and now only consists of a few convenience stores and a small medical clinic. The Lynwood Arms Hotel, a local pub on Metcalfe Road, has been in existence since the early 1970s.
