About Parklands
Parklands is a residential suburb in the City of Mandurah, situated in Western Australia's Peel region approximately 74 kilometres south of Perth. With a population of 603 residents across 6.5 square kilometres, it occupies an eastern position within Mandurah's growing urban fringe, bordered by Meadow Springs, Lakelands, Stake Hill, and Greenfields. The suburb forms part of the rapidly developing greater Mandurah area, which has seen significant residential growth over the past two decades driven by its coastal appeal and improved transport links to Perth.
Parklands features the Marlee Reserve, a local green space with a boardwalk, offering residents a pleasant outdoor amenity within walking distance. The suburb benefits from proximity to the Lakelands train station on the Mandurah Line, opened in 2023, providing regular services to Perth CBD. Shopping, schools, and community services are available in nearby Meadow Springs and the broader Mandurah centre. The suburb appeals to families and first-home buyers drawn by its newer housing stock, access to nature reserves, and connections to both Mandurah's coastal lifestyle and Perth's employment hubs.
Parklands falls under postcode 6180 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mandurah (South West) electorate.
