Cathedral Avenue is a short lane situated in Perth between St Georges Terrace and Hay Street east of Barrack Street within the Cathedral Square precinct.
Sometimes it was shown as St George's Avenue.[2] Cathedral Avenue operates as an access route to both the Treasury Buildings and to St George's Cathedral for formal functions.[2]
History
editChanges in the buildings along the course of the lane have revealed a range of significant buildings in the city centre.[3][4][5]
The Hay Street end was gated in the late 1920s.[6] Parking in the street was regularly a problem.[7][8][9] Drunk and disorderly behaviour was an issue over time in the street.[10][11][12]
