Bannister Street is a street in Fremantle between Market Street and Pakenham Streets.

In the early 20th century a brothel operated on Bannister Street.[1]

In the 1940s some local businessmen applied to the Fremantle council to change the name of the street,[2] due to the reputation of some of the premises in previous decades.[3][4]
