Nedlands is a western suburb of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia. It is a part of the local government areas of the City of Nedlands and the City of Perth. It is about 7 kilometres (4 mi) from the Perth CBD via either Thomas Street or Mounts Bay Road.

- The Lions Eye Institute, a major centre of research into eye disease, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, one of Perth's major public hospitals, and Hollywood Private Hospital (the former Repatriation General Hospital) and its neighbouring aged care facilities
The hospital and Stirling Highway are well served by the CircleRoute and other bus routes. Nedlands also contains some grocery shops and a library. It also contains the Perth Children's Hospital, adjoining the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, as part of the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre complex.

Politics
[edit]Nedlands is part of the federal division of Curtin.

For the parliament of Western Australia, the state electoral district of Nedlands is held by Labor member Katrina Stratton.
Its easternmost booth near the university is marginal at both levels of government, and all parts of the suburb exhibit a strong Green vote (and historically environmental concerns have also resulted in a strong primary vote for Liberals for Forests).
Climate
[edit]Due to its elevation, Nedlands is slightly cooler and wetter than the Perth central business district.
