Wellington Street continues into West Perth, past the Watertown shopping centre and other commercial properties, until it ends at an intersection with Thomas Street and Roberts Road, near Perth Modern School.

[6] It is unclear, however, as to when this road extension was actually made, as maps from 1860 still show Lake Irwin with Douro Street and surrounding lots superimposed over it,[7] suggesting the lake was yet to be drained and Douro Street was yet to be constructed.

[9][10] The eastern end of Wellington Street has historically been and is currently the location of several government departments and facilities.

The area of the street facing the Perth railway station to the north, Forrest Place to the south, and bound by Barrack Street to the east, and William Street to the west, was effectively the transport hub of Perth from the 1880s when the first railway station was built, until the 1960s when public transport and private car usage changed significantly in Perth.
