East Perth has been transformed over the past two decades from a light industrial suburb into one of Perth's most densely developed inner-city residential precincts. The former industrial land east of the CBD has been replaced by apartment towers, riverside development, and mixed-use buildings, and the suburb now houses a large inner-city population whose vehicles are typically serviced by workshops operating from nearby areas rather than from within East Perth itself.

There is limited workshop space within East Perth today, the land use that once allowed trade premises here has largely given way to residential and hospitality development.
