Overview

Oakford is an outer suburb of Perth, Western Australia, situated within the Shire of Serpentine‑Jarrahdale. Named in 1982 after a short‑lived townsite declared in 1926, the area retains a rural feel anchored by local agriculture, notably Borrello Cheese, which has been producing Italian‑style cheeses for over four decades. Community services include the Oakford Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade, and a proposed K‑12 school by the Free Reformed Church School Association is slated for staged construction, though some residents have raised concerns about traffic and preserving the suburb’s countryside vibe.

The suburb is well‑served by major road links: Thomas Road runs east‑west to Byford and Kwinana, Nicholson Road connects north to Gosnells, and Tonkin Highway terminates at Thomas Road before extending south toward Jarrahdale. Recent upgrades, such as new roundabouts on the Thomas‑Kargotich‑Nicholson intersection and the ongoing extension of Tonkin Highway, aim to improve traffic flow toward the Kwinana and South Western highways, offering residents convenient access to Perth Airport and the wider metropolitan network.
