Mount Lawley Accommodation After ECU's Move to the City
What does a room in or near Mount Lawley cost?
Purpose built student rooms come with one weekly price. A room in a Mount Lawley share house works on other terms, so know both before you pay.
Where does rent start on this page?
Rents here open from around A$295 a week. That covers the Perth properties shown on this Mount Lawley page, which sit in the city centre and further south, not on Beaufort Street. Expect to pay more for a studio or a bigger room.
Lodger or tenant in a shared house
Ask which one you are before you pay. Consumer Protection WA says you are likely a lodger if the landlord, or someone they appoint, lives with you and sets house rules. Tenancy law protects tenants only. Our Perth student accommodation page covers tenants.
Who holds a lodger's bond?
Your landlord does. Consumer Protection WA says Bonds Administration does not hold boarder and lodger bonds, so the landlord is responsible for the refund. Get a receipt showing the date, the amount and what it was for, and keep the signed agreement.
Does a lodger's rent include bills?
Only if your agreement says so. Consumer Protection WA tells lodgers to ask whether rent covers gas, electricity, water and internet, and how any extras are charged. A cheap room with bills on top can cost more than an all inclusive one.
Boarders get meals, lodgers do not
Boarders usually get meals or extra services such as linen, laundry and cleaning, while lodgers get neither, Consumer Protection WA says. Ask which you would be. A boarder's weekly payment covers more, so set it against a lodger's rent plus food.
How much notice does a lodger get?
Reasonable notice, with no fixed number of days. Consumer Protection WA says a landlord can end a lodging agreement at any time without giving a reason. Keep savings for a quick move, and agree a notice period in writing at the start.
What happened to ECU's Mount Lawley campus?
ECU has closed its Mount Lawley campus and moved the courses that ran there. Knowing where they went tells you where to look for a room.
Where ECU's Mount Lawley courses went
Teaching at Bradford Street has ended, ECU says. WAAPA, Arts and Humanities courses and Kurongkurl Katitjin moved to ECU City in the Perth CBD. The School of Education moved north to Joondalup. See ECU Mount Lawley student options for rooms that fit either campus.
ECU City sits above Perth Busport
ECU says its city campus is directly integrated with Perth Busport, and multiple bus routes stop right under the building. It calls itself one of the most transport connected universities in Western Australia. Any suburb with a direct bus into the centre works.
Is there student parking at ECU City?
No campus car park appears in ECU's travel advice. It points drivers to paid City of Perth parking on Roe Street and Wellington Street. Choose a room on a train line or bus route, and leave daily parking out of your plans.
Bike parking and showers at ECU City
Secure bike racks sit inside the campus, reached from the Wellington Street side, and your student ID opens the door. ECU also provides showers and lockers for people who ride or run in. Mount Lawley lies just north of the centre.
What about ECU Village Mount Lawley?
Do not plan around it. ECU kept its village at the closed campus open only for a limited time, and Campus Living Villages runs it. ECU's other villages are at Joondalup and the South West campus, so city students need private rooms.
A new neighbourhood on the old campus
The State Government's master plan for the site sets out new homes, public open space and a place for a primary school. It keeps the WAAPA, Library and Administration buildings for arts and cultural uses. Plan your room search around ECU City or Joondalup.
What is everyday life like in Mount Lawley?
Mount Lawley is an older inner suburb just north of the city. Most of its daily life happens on and around Beaufort Street.
Beaufort Street at the Walcott Street corner
The City of Stirling names Beaufort Street, centred on the Walcott Street intersection, as the suburb's main shopping strip. The Astor Theatre stands on that corner. A room within a few streets of it puts cafes, bars and buses within walking distance.
What kind of homes are in Mount Lawley?
Mostly older houses. The City of Stirling says Federation and Colonial styles dominate, and much of the suburb sits within its Heritage Protection Area. Expect rooms in shared homes and small blocks of flats here, not purpose built student buildings.
How far is Mount Lawley from the city?
About five minutes by car. Tourism WA puts it just north of central Perth, a short bus or train ride from Perth station. That makes the suburb workable for ECU City students who want a quieter base near cafes.
Are any properties in Mount Lawley itself?
No. They all sit elsewhere in Perth: in the city centre close to Perth station, in Bentley beside Curtin and at Murdoch University. Treat Beaufort Street as a place to rent privately, and this page as your route to city rooms.
City properties nearest to Mount Lawley
The closest properties on this page sit a little over a mile from our Mount Lawley centre point, around Stirling Street in the city. ECU City is a short walk from there, which suits WAAPA and Arts and Humanities students.
Choosing an en-suite, studio or shared bathroom
Filter the list by en-suite rooms, studio rooms or shared bathroom rooms. An en-suite gives you a private bathroom with a shared kitchen. A studio adds your own kitchen, and a shared bathroom room usually costs the least.
How do you get from Mount Lawley to class?
Mount Lawley has its own train station and a busy bus corridor. Here is how each Perth campus connects.
Is there a train station in Mount Lawley?
Yes. Transperth's Midland, Airport and Ellenbrook lines all stop at Mt Lawley station, so trains into the city come from three lines. A room near the station gives you the widest choice of services into the centre and out again at night.
Mt Lawley to Perth station by train
East Perth, Claisebrook and McIver are the only stations between Mt Lawley and Perth station. ECU says its city campus is a two minute walk from Perth's stations, so a room near the line puts ECU City classes within easy reach.
Can you reach Perth Airport by train?
Yes. Airport line trains stop at Mt Lawley and run east via Bayswater and Redcliffe to Airport Central, Transperth's line timetable shows. Transperth adds that there is no surcharge for airport trips, which helps when you first arrive with luggage.
Studying at UWA from Mount Lawley
One bus does it. A high frequency Transperth route runs down Beaufort Street, through the city and on to UWA. Our Crawley student accommodation page names the route and covers the colleges beside campus, so read it before you choose a room.
From Mount Lawley to ECU Joondalup
Take a train into Perth and change there for the line north to Joondalup. That is two trains each way, so education students often do better with a room further north. See ECU Joondalup accommodation for options near that campus.
Is Curtin practical from Mount Lawley?
Not for a daily trip. No train line reaches the Bentley campus, so you ride into Perth and change to a bus. Curtin students save time with a room beside campus. Curtin University student housing shows the properties there.

ECUマウントローリー校周辺の学生寮の費用はいくらくらいですか？
Best Student Hallsがマウントローリーで掲載している学生寮は、週あたり$294からご利用いただけます。掲載物件はパース市内および郊外にあり、マウントローリー自体にはありません。かつてマウントローリーで開講されていたほとんどのコースは、パースCBDのECU Cityに移転したため、市内中心部の物件の方がより便利な選択肢となる場合があります。詳しくは、ECUマウントローリーのページをご覧ください。
はい。ECU Village Joondalupは、キャンパス内の270 Joondalup Driveに位置し、Campus Living Villagesが運営しています。個室と複数部屋のユニットがあり、共用の自炊式キッチンが備わっています。ECUによると、キャンパス変更後もJoondalupは学生寮として存続するとのことです。JoondalupはECU Cityから電車で約21分なので、両キャンパスで授業を受ける学生にとって、この路線の駅近くに住むのは都合が良いでしょう。
