Amenities
Brabham is designed to connect you to the amazing world around. From quick trips to the city, to picnics in the parks, weekends in the Swan Valley, or walking adventures in one of the neighbouring nature reserves – life at Brabham will take you in any direction you choose.
Parks & Playgrounds
Brabham’s parks will all be designed to be within a 400m walking distance of all residents. One of the main features of our community will be St Leonard’s creek, a stunning natural creek surrounded by retained bushland running through the northern corridor of Brabham.
Our community also borders these two great parks:
Whiteman Park
Whiteman Park offers many family friendly facilities and expansive recreation areas, including a Dog Park, Village Café, Bush Walking Trails, Picnic Shelters & Playgrounds.
Caversham Wildlife Park
Caversham Wildlife Park is a Western Australian family owned and operated tourist highlight. The park is home to about 200 species, and more than 2000 animals, birds and reptiles.

Estimated Journey Times
Linking into Bayswater Station gives passengers from Perth’s north-eastern suburbs the choice of travelling to the Airport, Midland, the CBD and beyond. Currently, catching public transport from Ellenbrook to the CBD takes approximately an hour. The following is an estimate of the journey times to each station from the Perth CBD:
Project Features
This major investment in public transport will give people in the north-eastern suburbs of Perth a different transport choice, link important employment centres, promote housing diversity and help create a significant number of local jobs for our State. The next stage of planning will finalise estimated project costings, design and scope before moving into procurement and construction for:
- The final alignment of the tracks for the 21km line from the Midland Line, just east of Bayswater Station to Ellenbrook;
- Stations at Morley, Noranda, Malaga, Whiteman Park and Ellenbrook;
- Bus interchanges and parking facilities at stations;
- Track and associated infrastructure to allow the connection to the Midland Line near Bayswater Station;
- Grade separations at key road crossings;
- Separated principal shared paths for walking and cycling access along the rail line;
- Preliminary land use planning around stations to create active urban places with mixed uses;
- Noise and vibration modelling to identify potential mitigation measures; and
- Additional train and bus rollingstock needs.

First Home Owner Grant
The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) is a one-off payment from the State Government to encourage and assist first home buyers to buy or build their own home. The grant is $10,000, which is a huge help towards a deposit.
If you are a first home owner, you may qualify for the grant if you are purchasing or building a new home. Yes, that includes your very own house and land package or block here in Brabham!
Keystart
Another State Government initiative is Keystart. These low-deposit home loans are exclusive to WA and are a great way for First Home Buyers to get into their first home and onto the property ladder.
