Local knowledge

What You Need to Know About Outdoor Cinema in Southern River

Pick a neighbourhood reserve over a busy oval: Estate reserves like Greentree Drive and Castlewood Parkway give a flat, lawned screening space without the booking competition of Sutherlands Park sports ovals.
Sutherlands Park books out for sport: Its six ovals run football, soccer, cricket and hockey through winter, so confirm availability with the City of Gosnells before planning a screening there.
Mind the wetlands: Several Southern River reserves wrap around lakes and Bush Forever bushland, so set up on the open grassed areas away from sensitive vegetation and waterbirds.
Book council space early: Casual use of City of Gosnells reserves needs a booking through the Facilities Bookings Office, so allow lead time before your event date.
Great for new-estate community nights: With young families clustered around three primary schools, school P&C and estate community movie nights are an easy local draw.

About the area

A Brief History of Southern River

Southern River sits in Perth south-eastern corridor within the City of Gosnells, taking its name from the watercourse that runs through the district. For most of the twentieth century it was a sparsely populated rural fringe rather than a true suburb.

The land was originally given over to farming and animal-related enterprises, including egg production, horse-breeding properties and boarding kennels. Population was minimal, with fewer than 500 people living across the locality.

A pocket of that older character survives in the area bounded by Ranford, Passmore, Matison and Holmes streets, long associated with greyhound racing and the breeding and showing of pedigree dogs and cats.

From the 2000s onward the suburb was progressively rezoned and redeveloped into medium-density residential estates, with new roads, parks, gardens and wetland reserves laid out to support a fast-growing population.

That growth brought local schools and shops with it, including Southern Grove and Bletchley Park primary schools and, more recently, Yarralinka Primary School, alongside The Vale Shopping Centre on Warton Road.
