About Jolimont

Jolimont is a compact inner-western suburb of Perth, located approximately 3 kilometres from the Perth CBD within the Town of Cambridge local government area. Covering just 0.75 square kilometres, Jolimont had a population of 1,479 at the 2021 Census, with a notably older demographic — a median age of 52 and significant proportions of residents aged 65 and over — reflective of its established character and high proportion of single-person and couple households. The median personal income of $900 per week, combined with above-average mortgage repayments, indicates a suburb of comfortable, financially established residents in close proximity to Perth's amenities.

Jolimont enjoys an enviable location adjacent to Subiaco, one of Perth's premier inner-suburban destinations, offering boutique shopping, cafes, restaurants, and entertainment along Rokeby Road and Hay Street. The suburb is within walking distance of several train stations on the Fremantle Line, providing swift rail access into Perth CBD. Wembley Golf Course and the green expanses of Jolimont and Subiaco ovals are nearby, while the suburb's tree-lined streets of period homes and modern infill development create a refined, low-key residential atmosphere that appeals especially to retirees, downsizers, and professionals.

Jolimont falls under postcode 6014 and is governed by Cambridge Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Nedlands electorate.
