High Wycombe
High Wycombe is a suburb in the City of Kalamunda, with Kalamunda Road and Newburn Road among its main streets. It was part of Maida Vale until it was named in 1978, grew from the 1960s as a suburb of separate houses, and since October 2022 has been the eastern end of the Airport Line.
The housing
The 2021 Census counted 5,021 private dwellings in High Wycombe, and 96.2 per cent of the occupied ones were separate houses, with most of the rest semi-detached houses or townhouses. The Shire built High Wycombe Hall from 1964 for what its heritage record calls a growing locality. South-east of the station, the High Wycombe South Residential Precinct is planned as a medium to high density area of houses, grouped dwellings and apartments with a bush character.
Shops and cafes
The City of Kalamunda’s Activity Centres Strategy lists two neighbourhood centres in High Wycombe, at Kalamunda Road and Chipping Drive and on Wittenoom Road, and smaller local centres on Berle Way, Kenneth Road and Newburn Road. The same strategy identifies a possible larger district centre in the station precinct.
Parks and open space
Three of the City’s Bush Forever sites are in High Wycombe: Poison Gully Bushland, Hawkevale Bushland and Sultana Road West Bushland. Fleming Reserve at 111 Newburn Road has a skate and BMX park. The High Wycombe Community and Recreation Centre at 200 Newburn Road has a hall and meeting room for hire, and High Wycombe Library is at 15 Markham Road.
Getting around
High Wycombe Station is the end of the Airport Line, which opened on 9 October 2022. The line leaves the Midland Line near Bayswater and runs through twin bored tunnels, stopping at Redcliffe and Airport Central on the way. Buses from the station include route 270 to Elizabeth Quay via Belmont Forum, 271 to Forrestfield, 275 and 276 to Kalamunda, 277 and 278 to Midland Station and 280 to Westfield Carousel via Cannington Station.
Education
High Wycombe Primary School at 60 Newburn Road opened in 1961 and is an Independent Public School. Edney Primary School at 204 Newburn Road was officially opened on 8 December 1989.
What is coming
The Western Australian Planning Commission approved the High Wycombe South Residential Precinct structure plan in July 2020 and an amended version on 25 August 2023. The precinct is bounded by Poison Gully Creek, Roe Highway, Sultana Road West and Milner Road and includes more than 30 hectares of public open space and bushland. DevelopmentWA has been the planning authority for the station area since May 2021, and the METRONET East High Wycombe Structure Plan for the land around the station was approved in April 2025. The City lists planning for the Forrestfield and High Wycombe industrial area as in progress, with completion estimated for May 2028.
