Southern River is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Gosnells.

It was originally a rural area with farms for egg production, horse breeding properties and boarding kennels for cats and dogs.

will see the suburb totally redeveloped into medium-density residential properties with an average block size of 700 m2 (7,500 sq ft).

The result will be a population increase to above 15,000; along with this will be the building of all the necessary infrastructure like shops, schools, parks and gardens.

Most residents are deeply involved in either greyhound racing or the breeding showing and trialling of pedigree dogs and/or cats.
