Westminster is a friendly suburb located about 12 kilometres north of Perth, which is the capital city of Western Australia. It's part of the City of Stirling local government area.

Westminster used to be the southern part of another suburb called Balga. But in 1995, people living there asked for it to have its own name. They chose "Westminster" because that was the name of the original land estate before houses were built there. From 1936 to 1955, a road called "Westminster Boulevard" even ran through the area.

Today, Westminster has its own shopping centre called Stirling Central. You'll also find public and private primary schools here, along with several parks and places to play. Getting around is easy with regular bus services that travel along Wanneroo Road and through the middle of the suburb. These buses are run by Transperth, with services from Path Transit and Swan Transit.
