Doonside
Doonside is an
established residential area. Doonside is bounded by Richmond Road in the north, generally by Camdan Place, Sandstock Place, Stockade Place, Ceramic Way, Milson Road, Doonside Crescent,
a line running continuous of Tallawong
Crescent, Tallawong Crescent and Bungarribee Creek
in the east, Doonside Road
and the Great Western Highway
in the south and the Eastern Creek in the west. Doonside is named after a town
in Scotland.
Development of the area
dates primarily from the post-war years. Significant growth took place during
the late 1970s and 1980s. The population declined slightly from the mid 1990s,
a result of some dwellings being added, but a decline in average household
size.
Major features of the
area include Nurragingy Recreation Area, Featherdale Wildlife
Park, Bert Saunders
Reserve, Bungaribee Creek Reserve, Woodstock Avenue Reserve, Rainbow Shopping
Centre and numerous schools.
