About Hacketts Gully
Hacketts Gully is a small rural-residential suburb within the City of Kalamunda in the Perth Hills, Western Australia. Officially named in 1972 to commemorate Thomas Hackett, an early settler and market gardener who farmed the gully, the suburb neighbours Bickley, Paulls Valley, Piesse Brook, and Reservoir in the foothills of the Darling Range east of Perth. The 2021 Census recorded a population of just 55 residents, reflecting its character as a quiet, semi-rural enclave within Perth's outer eastern fringe.
The Perth Hills setting gives Hacketts Gully a distinctive leafy character, with properties typically set on larger blocks surrounded by native jarrah and marri bushland typical of the Darling Scarp. The suburb benefits from proximity to Kalamunda — a popular day-trip destination known for its village atmosphere, heritage precinct, Zig Zag Scenic Drive, and Kalamunda National Park — as well as the orchards and wineries of the Bickley Valley. Residents embrace a semi-rural lifestyle while remaining within a 35–40 minute drive of the Perth CBD, and the area is popular with those who value privacy, bush surroundings, and the vibrant hills community.
Hacketts Gully falls under postcode 6076 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Swan Hills (East Metropolitan) electorate.
