History
Westlake was a temporary settlement on the outskirts of Yarralumla, Australian Capital Territory, and was a suburb of Canberra from 1922 until 1965. Westlake was built in Stirling Park to accommodate workers before its constructions and buildings were removed by 1965, though remnants remain visible. At its peak it had a population of around 700.
