Melway Perth
The Melway Perth is a street directory for the city of Perth, Western Australia. It is published by Ausway, using indexing and mapping data from Landgate. It competes with the UBD and Gregory's Perth street directories.
History
Perth's first street directory, "Road Maps with Index" was published in 1944 by the then Department of Lands and Surveys. In 1968, the directory underwent a format change and was rebranded as the "Metropolitan Street Directory". The directory was then renamed "StreetSmart" in 1990. In 1996, the street directory became the first in Western Australia to be digitally produced. In 2009 the directory was acquired by Ausway Publishing Pty Ltd and published as "Melway Greater Perth" from the 2010 edition.[1]
