About Henley Brook

Henley Brook is an outer suburb of Perth located 25 km northeast of the CBD in the City of Swan. With a population of 2,500 and a median age of 41, it straddles two distinct characters — suburban residential development linked to nearby Ellenbrook on its western side, and rural-residential properties with wineries and hobby farms along the Swan River to the east. The suburb has strong English and Australian heritage roots dating back to the Swan River Colony.

Henley Brook sits within Perth's renowned Swan Valley wine and food region, offering residents easy access to wineries, restaurants, and tourist attractions along West Swan Road. The western portion features newer family housing estates connected to the Ellenbrook urban area, while the eastern riverside properties offer larger rural lots. With a median weekly household income of $2,131 and an average household size of 3, it particularly attracts young families seeking space and a semi-rural lifestyle without being too far from Perth.

Henley Brook falls under postcode 6055 and is governed by Swan Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the West Swan electorate.
