HISTORY BY LGA AREAS An historical gazetteer of closed and renamed places, and some places with particular historic information attached, in Western Australia, arranged by LGA. The busy Subiaco station was opened in 1883, but closed in 1998 when replaced by the new Subiaco (sunken) station. Compiled: Geoffrey Higham Geoproject Solutions Pty Ltd © 2016 WA Gazetteer by LGA areas Gazetteer © Geoproject Solutions Pty Ltd Page1 7/07/2016 WA Gazetteer by LGA areas This index is a report from a database which is progressively updated. The report reflects only that information added to the database up to the date of printing, which is shown at bottom of each page. The places are arranged in alphabetic order within each Local Governmetn Area (city, shire, etc). Two additional are as are included: "Offshore" which includes islands but also some bridges where their centre point is in a river excluded form LGA boundaries, and "Australia- east" to include some schools and stations along that portion of the trans-Australian railway in South Australia. Positions are shown by latitude (south) and longitude (east) in decimal degrees, based on the GDA94 datum. In the Perth region, co-ordinates in metres are also shown for use with street directory - zone 50 GDA94 datum. GDA94 may be considered the same as the WGS84 datum commonly used by GPS.
