Canning Vale is a southern suburb of Perth, 22 km from the central business district. Its local government areas are the City of Canning and the City of Gosnells. Canning Vale’s name derives from the Canning River, located about 3 kilometres to the suburb’s northeast. It was locally known as North Jandakot until 1925. The population is very diverse, with 14% of East or South-East Asian descent, and sizeable Indian and Italian minorities. The suburb is split into three distinct regions. North of the rail line near Roe Highway is an industrial area that has a number of major warehousing operations including Market City, a wholesale fresh produce market.
