About Cardup
Cardup is a semi-rural outer suburb of Perth in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, situated approximately 48 kilometres south-east of the Perth CBD near the town of Mundijong and the rapidly growing corridor of Byford. Established in 1927, the locality covers 11 square kilometres of rural-residential and agricultural land and recorded a population of 1,163 at the 2021 census. Cardup sits within one of Perth's fastest-growing outer corridors, bordered by the established suburb of Byford to the east and Oakford to the north, where major residential development has transformed the former rural fringe into a booming growth area. The historic Baker Hall is a well-known community landmark in the locality.
Cardup offers a semi-rural lifestyle within easy reach of Byford's rapidly expanding town centre, which features a growing range of shops, schools, medical facilities and community services driven by one of Perth's most active development corridors. The Armadale Line, recently extended to Byford as part of the METRONET program, places fast Perth CBD rail access approximately 4 kilometres away at Byford station, significantly improving urban connectivity for Cardup residents. Mundijong (4 km south) provides a historic village character with local services, while the Darling Range's jarrah forests to the east offer bushwalking, mountain biking and picnic areas. The combination of rural character, new infrastructure and relative affordability makes Cardup increasingly attractive to Perth families seeking space outside the main suburban core.
Cardup falls under postcode 6122 and is governed by Serpentine-Jarrahdale Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Darling Range electorate.
