Murray Street is one of four main east-west roads within the Perth central business district.
The street, the central portion of which has become a pedestrian mall, was named after Sir George Murray, Secretary of State for War and the Colonies from 1828 to 1830.
It is the one main road in Perth that has an eastern ending at a church - the Roman Catholic St Mary's Cathedral; the other major churches in the CBD are on the sides of the city streets.
The mall was created later than the Hay Street mall and its central section had no hotels whereas Wellington, Hay and St Georges Terrace have.
The number of historic arcades linking with the Hay Street mall is significant compared to other parts of the CBD.
The western and eastern ends of the street have had significant changes in land use compared to the central section.
The strip has many popular shops lining the street including flagship outlets for department stores such as Myer, David Jones, Woolworths and Target. Recent development along Murray Street has seen the addition of a number of both national and international retailers including - Nespresso, Swarovski, G-Star Raw, Quiksilver, General Pants Co., Aquilla, Industrie, Margaret River Chocolate co., Hurley, Pandora and many more. In addition to this development is now under way at the carillon centre that will see the addition of Zara to the Mall.
