Byford

Byford sits on the South Western Highway at the foot of the Darling Scarp, south-east of Armadale, in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale. It grew from a small brickworks town into the shire’s main centre, and since October 2025 it has been the southern end of the Armadale Line.

The housing

Almost all of Byford’s housing is detached houses. The older townsite east of the railway has modest, mostly single-storey houses on a curving street pattern under a heavy tree canopy. West of the line, newer estates such as The Glades, built around Lake Allambee, and The Brook at Byford account for much of the recent growth.

Shops and cafes

Byford Village Shopping Centre at 20 Abernethy Road opened in 2017 with a Coles supermarket and specialty shops. Byford Market Place on Abernethy Road has a Woolworths, Byford Centre on the South Western Highway has an ALDI, and Lakeside Plaza at The Glades has an IGA. The Shire opened an office in Byford Village in July 2026, alongside its main office in Mundijong.

Parks and open space

Brickwood Reserve, about 50 hectares of bushland south of Mead Street, is classified by the National Trust. Briggs Park on Mead Street, the old showground, has an oval, a pavilion and the Byford BMX Club. The Glades is laid out around Lake Allambee and Percy’s Adventure Park, and Byford Memorial Park on the South Western Highway holds the town’s war memorial.

Getting around

Byford Station opened on 12 October 2025 as the end of the extended Armadale Line, with a 46 minute trip to the Perth CBD and 400 parking bays. It has a separate platform for the Transwa Australind, which returned to service between Perth and Bunbury on 29 June 2026. Bus routes 251, 254, 255, 256, 259 and 262 meet the trains. The South Western Highway runs through the town, and Tonkin Highway is being extended south to meet it.

Education

Government primary schools are Byford Primary School on Clifton Street, Marri Grove Primary School on Larsen Road, West Byford Primary School on Kardan Boulevard, Woodland Grove Primary School on McMillan Road and Beenyup Primary School on Shepparton Boulevard. Byford Secondary College is at 57 Abernethy Road. Salvado Catholic College on Abernethy Road took its first students in 2016, and Byford John Calvin School is on Soldiers Road.

What is coming

Construction of the $42.2 million Byford Health Hub on Bushman Glade, near the station, started on 14 January 2026, and WA Health says it is scheduled to open in 2027. Main Roads WA lists the Tonkin Highway extension from Thomas Road to the South Western Highway as under construction, with completion expected in late 2028. In April 2026 the State Government said it aimed to double Australind services by early 2027.
