About Jane Brook

Jane Brook is a residential suburb in the City of Swan, located approximately 28 kilometres north-east of Perth CBD in the eastern foothills corridor. With a population of around 3,670 and a median age of 39, the suburb attracts a mix of established families and working households, with a median household income of approximately $2,351 per week. Positioned at the edge of the Darling Range foothills, Jane Brook offers larger residential blocks and a semi-rural character that distinguishes it from Perth's more densely developed inner suburbs.

Jane Brook is close to Midland, the major regional hub of Perth's eastern corridor, which provides extensive shopping, healthcare, and transport links including the Midland train line with regular services to Perth CBD. The suburb's bushland surrounds and proximity to the renowned Swan Valley wine and dining region to the north-west are drawcards for those seeking a quieter, nature-adjacent lifestyle. Recreational parks, a mix of Catholic and independent schools in the area, and a strong community of owner-occupiers make Jane Brook particularly appealing to families valuing space and greenery without straying too far from metropolitan services.

Jane Brook falls under postcode 6056 and is governed by Swan Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Midland electorate.
