Municipal Inventory	Adopted	04 Feb 2003	Level 1 Residential Conservation Area	Level 1 Residential Conservation Area The place should not be demolished. The conservation of the place should be considered in the context of the character of the surrounding heritage streetscape and level of significance of the Conservation Area. Significant/original fabric should be retained and conserved. The street façade of the building should not be altered or adapted, except to restore original detail where this has been lost. The remainder of the building or place may be extended or adapted; however the original significant building or place should remain the dominant feature on the site when viewed from the street. In the event of a change of use, the new use should be compatible with the heritage values, significance and historic themes of the place. The new use should not diminish the significance of the Conservation Area in which it is located.

History

Shenton Park was originally known as West Subiaco. The Rosalie Park (originally spelt Rosalea) land release in the north east portion of the precinct east of Hensman Road, and the City of Perth Estate (1896) bounded by Commercial, Onslow, Herbert and Aberdare were the first areas to develop. There was also the Subiaco Highlands Estate bounded by Hilda, Onslow, Derby and Aberdare. West Subiaco, like Jolimont, was perceived as isolated from the heart of Subiaco, with most facilities being north of Hamersley Road. After 1910, Shenton Park's development was boosted by construction through the Workers' Homes Act 1912.
The commercial strip developed along Onslow Road, and also Nicholson Road, where the Shenton Park Hotel was built in 1907. The Shenton Picture Gardens opposite from 1920s provided local entertainment for many years. The Rosalie Primary School opened in 1906. The Subiaco Football Club was originally based at Shenton Park Lake, and it was assumed that the recreation area would develop as the municipality's main sporting facility. However, the football club relocated to Mueller Park in 1908.
Onslow Road was gazetted by 1883 and named after Sir A C Onslow, Chief Justice. Waylen Road was named after Dr Alfred Waylen, Colonial Surgeon. Derby Road was named after Lord Derby, Secretary for Colonies. Hensman Road was named after Mr A P Hensman, Judge and Attorney General.
