About Bertram

Bertram is a relatively young suburb in Perth's southern corridor, established in 2003 within the City of Kwinana approximately 35 kilometres south of the CBD. With a population exceeding 6,100 residents, it represents the modern face of Perth's suburban expansion with contemporary housing estates and planned infrastructure. The suburb was named after a Group Settler family from the 1920s who originally farmed the land.

Young families and first-home buyers are particularly drawn to Bertram's modern homes on generous blocks at more affordable prices than established suburbs closer to the city. Good transport links including proximity to the Kwinana Freeway and future Metronet expansion provide connectivity, while Cockburn Gateway Shopping City is a short drive away for major retail needs. Local schools, parks, and the surrounding Cassia estate create a community-focused environment suited to growing families seeking their slice of the Australian dream.

Bertram falls under postcode 6167 and is governed by Kwinana Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kwinana electorate.
