About Piara Waters

Piara Waters is one of Perth's fastest-growing suburbs, a modern community of over 15,000 residents that's transformed from paddocks to family estates in years. Located 25 kilometres southeast of the CBD in the City of Armadale, it offers brand new infrastructure and contemporary homes. The future Byford rail extension will improve connectivity.

The suburb exemplifies growth-area living—new homes, establishing schools, and young families building community together. The nearby Harrisdale shopping serves daily needs. Piara Waters attracts first-home buyers and young families seeking new homes at accessible prices in Perth's southeastern growth corridor.

Piara Waters falls under postcode 6112 and is governed by Armadale Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Oakford electorate.
