A BRIEF HISTORY
Land at Trigg remained largely vacant until 1877, when the first grants were taken up. A scheme
attempted by developers from Sydney in 1888 divided a large area into one-eighth-of-an-acre lots,
but resulted in failure. By 1919 there were only three buildings in the locality, and holiday and
fishing shacks did not begin to appear until the 1920's. The Perth suburb of Trigg eventually started to be formally
developed in the late 1940's, when 1 888 lots were subdivided and sold. Many of the streets in the
area were named after former residents and pioneers, as well as local personalities.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Residential development in the Perth suburb of Trigg is largely dominated by single detached dwellings on individual
lots. The style and form of housing in the area varies considerably, ranging from older holiday
shacks and workers' dwellings to large modern housing developments. There are a small number of
duplex developments in Trigg, while many of the homes along the coast have been built in elegant
Mediterranean styles.
COMMUNITY SERVICES
Retail facilities are provided by the Lynn Street Shops, located on the north eastern boundary of the
suburb. There is also some retail development within the Trigg Lifesaving Club on the ocean
foreshore. The Perth suburb of Trigg has a large quantity of public open space, the most significant area being the Trigg
Bushland Reserve which runs through the centre of the suburb. There are also several smaller
parks, and the beaches provide a well-utilised recreation area. Trigg Beach is particularly well
known for its good surfing conditions.
SIGNIFICANT LANDMARKS

and provides a readily identifiable landscape feature.
