About Bullsbrook
Bullsbrook is a large semi-rural locality situated approximately 45 kilometres north of Perth's CBD within the City of Swan local government area, on the fringe of Greater Perth. Covering an expansive 254 square kilometres, the suburb combines residential living with rural acreage, market gardens, and open bushland typical of Perth's northern outer corridor. With a population of 5,605 and a median age of 38, it attracts families and individuals seeking space, lifestyle, and larger land parcels, with a median household income of around ,912 per week reflecting a trades and working-families community.
Bullsbrook is home to RAAF Base Pearce, a major Royal Australian Air Force facility and training base that has been a defining feature of the area for decades. The suburb is popular with those seeking semi-rural living — including hobby farms and horse properties — within commuting distance of Perth's northern suburbs. Local services include a small commercial area, primary schools, and community facilities, with the growing town of Ellenbrook nearby providing broader retail and services. The predominantly Anglo-Australian community and expansive rural character give Bullsbrook a distinct country feel, attracting buyers priced out of inner suburban markets who value space and lifestyle.
Bullsbrook falls under postcode 6084 and is governed by Swan Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Swan Hills electorate.
