</p><p>It was originally a plot of land issued to Patrick Farmer in 1833. Prior to Forrest Place's construction, an arcade between Wellington and Murray Streets existed on the site known as Central Arcade.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was considered an "unhealthy" establishment, which led to its demolition.

<p>Prior to the building of the <a href="Forrest_Chase" title="Forrest Chase">Forrest Chase</a> complex (containing <a href="Myer" title="Myer">Myer</a> and numerous other retail stores), the central building on the eastern side of Forrest Place was the <a href="Padbury_Buildings%2C_Perth" title="Padbury Buildings, Perth">Padbury Buildings</a> (built in 1925<sup id="cite_ref-heritage2_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-heritage2-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and demolished in 1986–1987). While the buildings on the east side have changed a number of times in the street's 82-year history, the <a href="General_Post_Office%2C_Perth" title="General Post Office, Perth">General Post Office</a> (completed in 1923<sup id="cite_ref-heritage3_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-heritage3-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) and the <a href="Commonwealth_Bank" title="Commonwealth Bank">Commonwealth Bank</a> building (completed 1933<sup id="cite_ref-heritage1_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-heritage1-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>), both designed by <a href="John_Smith_Murdoch" title="John Smith Murdoch">John Smith Murdoch</a> in the <a href="Australian_non-residential_architectural_styles#Beaux_Arts" title="Australian non-residential architectural styles">Interwar</a> <a href="Beaux-Arts_architecture" title="Beaux-Arts architecture">Beaux-Arts</a> style and faced with <a href="Donnybrook_stone" title="Donnybrook stone">Donnybrook stone</a>, have endured significant change around them.

It was a meeting place and focal point for political meetings in the 1950s through to the 1980s;<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> considerable use was made of the steps of the Post Office being above the roadway level.

</p><p>An attempt to defuse the political nature of the space and ban meetings in Forrest Place was carried out by <a href="Charles_Court" title="Charles Court">Charles Court</a>, on 18 November 1975, when his government used Section 54B of the Western Australia Police Act to ban meetings.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Considerable numbers of demonstrations resulted from this ban,<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which was later repealed by the Public Meetings and Processions Act of 1984.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In 2013, the history of protests held at Forest Place, and the responses by authorities, was the subject of a presentation by <a href="Murdoch_University" title="Murdoch University">Murdoch University</a> Adjunct Associate Professor Lenore Layman.

In 2017, in a chapter in the book <i>Radical Perth, Militant Fremantle</i> Layman develops an argument that Forrest Place was a location of conflict over the usage of the space as a place for freedom of speech, association and peaceful assembly.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
