Overview

Forrestfield, a suburb of the City of Kalamunda ≈ 15 km southeast of Perth, sits at the base of the Darling Scarp and borders Perth Airport. The area is divided by Roe Highway, with a quiet residential zone to the south and a busy industrial precinct to the north that includes a major rail hub and the Forrestfield Marshalling Yard. The 2021 census recorded 13,181 residents, median age 38, reflecting a stable community where newer dwellings have offset a decline in household size. Excellent connectivity is provided by the Airport line (opened 2022) with three nearby stations, numerous bus routes linking High Wycombe, Elizabeth Quay and Westfield Carousel, and easy access to Tonkin and Kwinana highways.

Residents enjoy a comprehensive retail strip at the Forrestfield Forum and Marketplace, plus a FoodWorks on Cumberland Road and a range of cafés, taverns and specialty shops. Educational options include Darling Range Sports College, several primary schools and HillSide Christian College, while leisure is centred on Hartfield Park Recreation Centre’s indoor stadium, fields, 18‑hole golf course and equestrian facilities. Close to Discovery Parks – Perth Airport Caravan and Holiday Park and a public library, the suburb blends convenient urban amenities with open‑space recreation.
