The Post Newspapers group was established as the
Subiaco Post by reporter Bret Christian and his wife Bettye in September 1977 at a house in Churchill Avenue,
Subiaco. The first edition was published in September 1977. The paper moved to a former wine saloon in Keightley Road, Subiaco, in 1979, and moved again to Onslow Road in
Shenton Park in 2006. The
Post started as a monthly, became fortnightly in 1978 and went to weekly publication from 26 November 1980. While continuing to publish the
Subiaco Post, the Post Newspapers developed other suburban editions:
Nedlands Post in April 1978,
Claremont Post in July 1978,
Cottesloe Post in August 1979,
Mosman Park Post in November 1980 (the Cottesloe and Mosman Park edition were combined at that time), and the
Cambridge Post (formerly
Floreat) in October 1981. All four are still published. The
Posts distribution area reaches as far south as
North Fremantle, as far north as
Wembley Downs and
Woodlands, and as far east as
West Perth and
West Leederville. Post Newspapers took over printing of
Examiner Newspapers publications from Seven West Media on 1 July 2025. ==Further reading==
