Chinatown in Northbridge, an inner city suburb of Perth, Western Australia is bounded by Roe Street, Nicks Lane, the businesses facing James Street, and the Roe Street car park.[1] Located within Chinatown are 13 restaurants and businesses.[2] However, many more Asian businesses are found further north around William Street near Brisbane Street, an area known informally for this reason as the real Chinatown,[3] and indeed throughout both the Perth metropolitan region and the rest of Western Australia.
