Assuming that you mean Perth in Western Australia, they usually don't. Every once in a while, a cyclone will form north of Perth and it's path will then head south, and the cyclone will continue to exist as long as the conditions allow.

This is what happened when Tropical Cyclone Alby formed on 2 April 1978 north-west of Karratha, headed south for a couple of days, and then passed close to Perth on 4 April 1978.

The eye of Alby never passed over land, but Perth and its suburbs experienced very strong gusty winds on that day.

In fact, I remember (as a child) people losing roofs and trees in the suburb of Shoalwater Bay, 50km south of Perth.

Why are the Tropical Cyclone Warning centers located in Perth Darwin or Brisbane?

Tropical cyclone warning centres are located in these cities as they are the major centres along the coasts where most cyclones occur. Cyclones rarely hit as far south as Perth, but Perth is the capital of Western Australia, and the centre for communications - thus it is a logical location. Brisbane is in a similar situation. Darwin is right in the middle of cyclone territory.
