Shule Lane
Consultation has concluded
The City is proposing to name the laneway between Brisbane Street, Lake Street, Hope Street, and Palmerston Street, Perth.
The proposed name (Shule Lane) is in tribute to two former synagogues, previously located on Brisbane and Palmerston Streets. The Orthodox Jewish Synagogue stood at 117 Brisbane Street Perth from 1897 until it was demolished in the 1970s. The synagogue of the Perth Jewish Association (known as Little Shule) existed at 127 Palmerston Street from 1918 until the land was purchased to extend Robertson Park in 1973. ‘Shule’ is the Yiddish word for synagogue.
Shule Lane satisfies Landgate’s criteria for a road name in that it:
- is a single name element followed by a road type;
- does not duplicate an existing road name within the local government area;
- the name is not used in an existing street or place in WA; and
- is no more than six letters long.
Shule Lane is considered pursuant to Criteria 5 of the City’s Road Naming Criteria – A culturally significant historic event, architectural style, artwork, waterway or other culturally iconic element connected with the area.
A document prepared by our Local History Centre can be found in the Document Library.
The City has consulted with Perth Hebrew Congregation Inc who is supportive of this naming proposal.
Where is the lane?
The lane identified for naming is located between Brisbane Street, Lake Street, Hope Street, and Palmerston Street, Perth.
The naming is to be applied to Lot 66 on Plan 1598 and Lot 68 on Plan 1189.
