From the intersection of Toodyay Road and Goomalling Toodyay Road, Stirling Terrace travels north-west through the town for 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi), to the west of the Avon River. At the street's north-western end, through-traffic can continue north via Telegraph Road and Bindi Bindi–Toodyay Road to Bindi Bindi, or west via Harper Road and Julimar Road to Chittering.[1]

The name Stirling Terrace was adopted at a Newcastle Municipal Council meeting in May 1905. Following discussion of a motion to rename the town's main road, two names were voted on: Bedford Terrace, after Governor Bedford, and Stirling Terrace, after the former Governor Stirling. The votes were split 3–3, so Mayor Henry Davey cast the deciding vote for Stirling Terrace. The change in name was officially made on 3 May 1911.[11]
In 2009 the upgrading from federal and state funding was completed.[12]
The northern end of the street, in the vicinity of the Avon Bridge, is a popular walking spot for tourists.[13]
