Outram Street is a 750-metre-long (0.5 mi)^[1] street, named after Sir James Outram, in West Perth.^[2]

The street runs parallel to Colin and Havelock Streets (which are further to the east and closer to the CBD), from Kings Park Road to Wellington Street.^[1]

For a significant part of the early twentieth century, wealthy merchants and politicians had family homes in the street.^[3][4] Some of the significant structures from that era remain intact, but with different uses.^[5]

By the late 1930s the development of blocks of flats and apartments were beginning to change the landscape of Outram Street and West Perth.^[6]

In the transition from residential suburb to concentrated office accommodation, values of land have made it a significant location adjacent to the Perth CBD.^[7][8]

Some of the structures like the Outram Street Terraces (number 74-82)^[9] have been on the Interim Heritage Register since 2000.
