Whitby – the miami

Whitby is an emerging suburb located approximately 40 km southeast of Perth’s CBD, nestled at the foot of the Darling Ranges in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale. Positioned near the South Western Highway and close to the Kwinana Freeway, Whitby offers a serene, semi-rural lifestyle with modern conveniences, making it an appealing choice for families and nature lovers. Named after the nearby Whitby Falls, the suburb is part of a master-planned community set to transform into a residential, social, and economic hub over the coming years, with an expected population of 10,000. Its proximity to natural attractions like Serpentine National Park and Mundlimup State Forest provides ample opportunities for outdoor activities such as bushwalking and exploring scenic trails.

Ideal for growing families and investors, Whitby boasts a strong sense of community with planned amenities, including future schools and a district shopping centre. Nearby Mundijong and Byford offer additional retail and services, while public transport options, including the Mundijong railway station and planned bus routes, ensure connectivity to Perth. Whitby’s blend of tranquil surroundings, modern development, and access to both nature and urban amenities makes it a promising destination for those seeking a balanced lifestyle.
