Street in CBD of Perth, Western Australia

Commercial buildings on the opposite side of the street give way to small retail businesses on both sides between Hay Street and Wellington Street. The street terminates at Wellington Street, continuing as Beaufort Street on and over the Barrack Street Bridge, which crosses the Midland and Armadale railway lines. The Barrack Street Bridge was constructed in 1894.

Barrack Street existed as a named road as early as 1833. It was named for the military barracks that existed along the alignment, at the corner of St Georges Terrace, in 1829. The section between Murray Street and Wellington Street saw a minor urban renewal with Barrack Plaza officially opening on 12 July 2006.

Barrack Street began as a two way street. In 2010, the section between Riverside Drive and The Esplanade returned to two way traffic. Further conversion occurred in 2011; the section between The Esplanade and St Georges Terrace was changed back to two way traffic, and on 29 November 2015 the section between St Georges Terrace and Wellington Street was converted.

With the evolution of the properties in the CBD block defined by Barrack Street, Hay Street, Pier Street and St Georges Terrace, Barrack Street has become the western boundary of the Cathedral Square precinct. The renovation and revitalisation of the Perth Town Hall, and Treasury buildings has made the Barrack Street side a pedestrian entry point into the Square.

Barrack Street intersects all the major east–west routes in the Perth CBD, with all intersections being signalised except for Geoffrey Bolton Avenue. Prior to two way conversion in 2015, it was the northbound route of State Route 53 through the CBD with William Street, one block over to the west, carrying the route southbound. Since conversion and development of Elizabeth Quay, however, Barrack Street now carries both directions of State Route 53 north of The Esplanade before switching to State Route 5 south of The Esplanade.
