Ellenbrook Property Growth

Ellenbrook Station opened in 2024 in the heart of the town centre as the first completed station on the new Morley-Ellenbrook Line, cutting the public transport journey to the Perth CBD to around 30 minutes — roughly half the previous travel time — with a 12-stand bus interchange and 500 parking bays. Ellenbrook borders Tonkin Highway, Gnangara Road and Great Northern Highway, with Tonkin Highway meeting Reid Highway and Gnangara Road via major interchanges, providing car access toward Perth, Midland, the airport and Joondalup. Verify current timetables and traffic conditions before relying on any commute estimate.

Ellenbrook Secondary College, an independent public school established in 2007, serves Years 7–12, with Aveley Secondary College (opened 2018) providing a further nearby option. Its primary intake area includes Aveley Primary School, Ellenbrook Primary School, Brabham Primary School, Arbor Grove Primary School and Ellen Stirling Primary School, alongside Ellenbrook Christian College as a private alternative. Always verify availability and waitlists directly with providers.

Ellenbrook is served by three shopping centres including Ellenbrook Central, which offers supermarkets, department stores, specialty retail and casual dining, alongside Bunnings and other big-box retailers in the town centre. The suburb has more than 60 parks and playgrounds, extensive walking and cycling trails, and notable water features including Lake Fresca Park and Woodlake Park, reflecting Ellenbrook's original "village" master-plan concept established in 1994.

The Morley-Ellenbrook Line, a new 21km METRONET rail line, delivered Ellenbrook Station as its first completed station in 2024, connecting the suburb to the Perth CBD by rail for the first time and built to serve Ellenbrook's roughly 46,000 residents.

No further projects beyond those noted above are currently confirmed for Ellenbrook. Check Infrastructure Australia's project pipeline, State Government announcements or the City of Swan's website for the latest updates.

• The Morley-Ellenbrook Line and station are newly opened (2024), so long-term impacts on local transport patterns, amenity and demand are still emerging.

• Interest rate and lending sensitivity — like all property markets, local prices and buyer activity can be affected by changes in interest rates and lending conditions.
