History

On 31 October 2017, this section was excised from Penfield and the new suburb of Eyre was created on the north side of Womma Road and western side of Stebonheath Road.[3] The eastern side was dominated by a housing estate which had been marketed as "Eyre at Penfield". The northeastern corner was the site of a local shopping centre to open later in 2017 including a Drake's Foodland.
