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. Cathedral Avenue operates as an access route to both the Treasury Buildings and to St George's Cathedral for formal functions.
History
Changes in the buildings along the course of the lane have revealed a range of significant buildings in the city centre.
The Hay Street end was gated in the late 1920s. Parking in the street was regularly a problem. Drunk and disorderly behaviour was an issue over time in the street.
