About the Shire
Located approximately 45 kilometres from the Perth CBD, Serpentine Jarrahdale is set against the picturesque backdrop of the Darling Scarp.
Forested hills and wetlands are complemented by areas of pristine wilderness with an abundance of wildflowers and wildlife. This unique landscape delivers an enviable rural setting in close proximity to a major metropolitan area.
Coastal flats are dominated by rural residential properties with a mix of natural vegetation and cleared grazing land supporting a vibrant equine industry.

As the fastest growing local government in WA, we need to balance the natural beauty of Serpentine Jarrahdale with the need for sustainable growth – not just environmentally, but also socially and economically.
To do this, we have a clear plan of action. Input from extensive consultations with our residents and business owners is reflected in our vision that shows what’s most important to our Shire and what will take us forward over the next 10 years.
