context_page_description: St Kilda West is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 5 km south of Melbourne's Central Business District. Its local government area is the City of Port Phillip. At the 2016 Census, St Kilda West had a population of 3,162.
  St Kilda West is bounded by Albert Park and Canterbury Road in the north-east and south-east, West Beach Road, Scoops Lane and Beaconsfield Parade in the south-west, Port Phillip Bay in the west, and Fraser Street in the north and north-west. Fraser Street was the western boundary of the former City of St Kilda, now part of the City of Port Phillip.
  It is an almost exclusively residential area characterised by a mix of Victorian terraces, modest Edwardian villas, interwar and post war walk-up flats, as well as some 1960s-70s hi-rise towers facing Port Phillip bay. The suburb's community and commercial facilities are located in nearby suburbs, and it is well served by public transport.
context_section_description: The main thoroughfares are Canterbury Road and Beaconsfield Parade. Both are dual carriageways. Park Street runs along the spine of the suburb and is a single carriageway.
  Before conversion to light rail (route 96) in 1987, the rail reserve parallel to Canterbury Road served as the St. Kilda rail line, with services to Flinders Street via Middle Park, Albert Park and South Melbourne. Route 112 was replaced by route 12 on 26 July 2014 as part of a wider timetable change to the Yarra Trams network. 
  St Kilda West is serviced by four tram routes:
