CITY OF STIRLING 20 BALCATTA-STIRLING LOCAL AREA PLAN
Historical Overview Aboriginal use and stewardship of land within the City of Stirling prior to European occupation is acknowledged by the City. Oral and written histories identify that Aboriginal people occupied much of the area, and there are numerous registered heritage sites across the City that indicate past occupation or that are of cultural significance. The Balcatta-Stirling Local Area has Aboriginal cultural and mythological significance as it was a meeting place, hunting place and water source. The ‘Stirling Wetlands’ and ‘Waterway’ registered sites which run from Roselea and Princeton, through Stirling to Herdsman Lake are recognised mythological sites. Other registered Aboriginal sites in the local area include Nugent Street, Balcatta Sand Quarry (near Rickman Delawney Reserve), Amelia Street (near Canning Street) and at Nightjar Street in Stirling. These places are registered with the Department of Indigenous Affairs as Aboriginal artefacts have been discovered there. The adjoining suburb of Stirling (much which is also part of the Local Area) was originally part of Osborne Park, which was established as a market gardening area in the late 19 th century, with the fertile swampy land being well suited for agriculture. Stirling did not become a separate suburb until nearly a century later. Agricultural activity in the local area flourished throughout the early part of the 20 th Century. Initially the local Chinese population were involved in market gardening, yet over time the number of Italian immigrants in the area increased and a greater range of rural activities, such as poultry farms and piggeries were introduced into the local area. The area’s development was also aided by the opening of a tramline along Main Street and establishment of the Osborne Park townsite as a focal point of activity for the district. European occupation of the area was established during the early stages of colonisation, with ‘subdivision’ in the 1840s. Two of the first land allocations were Perthshire Location AU, which was granted to Thomas Walters in 1840 and Swan Location 92 which was a grant of 780 acres allocated to Samuel Moore in 1844 then sold to John Charles Mews in 1875. The use of the name Balcatta was first recorded in the 1870s with Alexander Forrest using the name in 1877 and John Mews using the name in 1888. The name derived from the local Aboriginal name for the area north of Careniup Swamp, “bal katta” meaning ”his hill”. A landowner in the area, James Arbuckle, named his house Balcatta as it overlooked Careniup Swamp, and a subsequent subdivision in the area was named Balcatta Estate. The name was also spelt as ‘Balkatta” and ‘Balgatta’. The name Balcatta is an important link to the area’s indigenous history. CITY OF STIRLING 21 BALCATTA-STIRLING LOCAL AREA PLAN
