West Perth is a suburb 600 metres west of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. It is part of the inner mixed zone, and has predominately office blocks which have displaced residential buildings. There is a high proportion of consultants, and particularly medical specialists, compared to the Perth CBD. Most retail outlets are focused on serving the office population, and so are closed on weekends. Notable exceptions include the Harbourtown factory outlet complex located near the eastern edge of the suburb, and the City West complex. [cite book
