Welshpool is an inner southeastern suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located mostly within the City of Canning and partially within the Town of Victoria Park.
The area is one of the main industrial areas of Perth, along with Kewdale, Kwinana Beach, Henderson, Malaga, O'Connor, Canning Vale and Osborne Park.[2]
Welshpool is visually known for its three complexes of silo towers. These house storage of feed products for the poultry and agricultural industries.
Welshpool is a traditional industrial suburb partly to the fact of its proximity to Perth Airport and short distance to the Perth central business district.
Welshpool is named after the town of Welshpool in Wales.
