WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE
The ECU Mount Lawley site has been a gathering place since 50,000BP+, from Noongar hunting and camping grounds, to being established as part of the Swan River Colony, a sanitary depot in the 1900s, the National Safety Council centre, Mount Lawley Teachers College, WAAPA, WA College of Advanced Education, and Edith Cowan University.
The site holds a past where countless lives were lived - careers inspired, performances experienced, friendships formed, community moments shared, and memories not easily forgotten.
As DevelopmentWA works to shape the future of this important site, we are committed to ensuring its creative and cultural legacy lives on. If you have spent time at this location, we invite you to take a walk down memory lane and share photos, videos and reflections to celebrate its lasting impact. Memories collected will live on in many ways, as we develop this iconic location and look to honour the legacy.



WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE
The former ECU Mount Lawley site has been a gathering place since 50,000BP+, from Noongar hunting and camping grounds, to being established as part of the Swan River Colony, a sanitary depot in the 1900s, the National Safety council centre, Mount Lawley Teachers College, WAAPA, WA College of Advanced Education, and Edith Cowan University.
The former ECU Mount Lawley site holds a past where countless lives were transformed – careers fast-tracked, newfound confidence gained, and many milestones reached, and not easily forgotten.
We now invite current and former students, staff and community to take a walk down memory lane and share photos, videos and reflections of the site to celebrate its lasting impact.
