Salter Point suburb profile

Salter Point is a quiet riverside suburb on the Canning River in Perth's southern suburbs, defined by its foreshore reserves, jetties and river-facing blocks. Streets are leafy and predominantly low-rise, with a mix of mid-century brick homes and more recent renovations, attracting families and professionals who value an outdoor, waterside lifestyle. Recreation centres on boating, kayaking and riverside walks rather than a busy shopping strip, while small local parks and pockets of native bushland give the area a restful, suburban character. Nearby arterial roads and a river crossing provide straightforward links to surrounding suburbs and the city.
