Westfield Innaloo is a major shopping centre in the northern suburbs of Perth. It is located at the corner of Scarborough Beach Road and Ellen Stirling Boulevard (formerly Oswald Street) in Innaloo, approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north-west of the Perth central business district.
The shopping centre is approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi), or 3 minutes by bus, from Stirling Train Station, and is part of Stirling City Centre.[2]
In 2020 the shopping centre was intended to be rebranded to Westfield Stirling,[3][4][5] but as of 13 March 2022[update] that has not happened. Honouring James Stirling, after whom the City of Stirling is named in which Westfield Innaloo is situated and which is itself facing calls to rename,[6][7] is increasingly under pressure,[8] because Stirling personally led the attack on a group of approximately seventy Bindjareb men, women and children on 28 October 1834 now known as the Pinjarra massacre. That massacre lasted at least an hour and resulted in the deaths of one soldier and an estimated 15–30 men, women and children.[9]

The City is named after Western Australia's first governor Sir James Stirling, who instigated one of the state's bloodiest massacres almost 200 years ago.

Stirling's direction of an 1834 massacre in Pinjarra, south of Perth, means we cannot honour him. Doing so dishonours those killed in that massacre, and its survivors, as well as their descendants.
