Melway Perth
Western Australia road map
Melway Perth was a street directory for the city of Perth, Western Australia. It was published by Ausway, using indexing and mapping data from Landgate. It competed with the UBD and Gregory's Perth street directories.
01History
Perth's first street directory, Road Maps with Index was published in 1944 by the Department of Lands & Surveys. In 1968, the directory underwent a format change and was rebranded as the Metropolitan Street Directory. The directory was then renamed StreetSmart in 1990. In 1996, the street directory became the first in Western Australia to be digitally produced. In 2009 the directory was acquired by Ausway and published as Melway Greater Perth from the 2010 edition.
