History

Airlie Street was initially named Harry Street, and was part of the subdivision of Location 699 that included Anstey Street, the south side of Osborne Parade, and Bindaring Parade, with some 115 residential lots. The lots on Airlie Street averaged around 1,300-1,400 sqm in size, allowing for tennis courts and swimming pools to be established at the rear. These can still be found in the gardens of some houses in the street, but there have also been more recent subdivisions and infill.
