Summary of Project

Parkland Heights is a masterplanned community located in Baldivis within the City of Rockingham approximately 50km south west of the Perth Central Area.

This south western growth corridor continues to be a popular choice for purchasers with Parkland Heights providing excellent access to key public transport links including the Warnbro Train Station as well as Kwinana Freeway, allowing commuters to be in the Perth CBD in under 40 minutes.  Parkland Heights is well serviced by existing quality schools and has good accessibility to the Baldivis Town Centre.

Although in its infancy with only approx. 15%-20% developed (as at early 2015), Parkland Heights has an established presence in the Baldivis region.  The project is a fully masterplanned community offering a range of product and housing types, extensive open space networks, a future District Oval, Commercial node and future Primary School.
