About Mardella

Mardella is a rural locality on Perth's outer southern fringe, approximately 41 kilometres south-southeast of the Perth CBD, within the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale. With a population of 446 spread across 64 square kilometres, it remains one of Perth's quieter outer localities, characterised by large residential lots, rural properties, and a semi-rural landscape. The locality sits between the towns of Armadale and Rockingham, both around 20 kilometres away, offering access to services while retaining a distinctly country feel.

Mardella's appeal lies in its space and serenity — generous land parcels, natural bushland surrounds, and the peace of rural living relatively close to Perth's southern suburban network. Residents typically rely on nearby Mundijong or Jarrahdale for day-to-day needs, with Armadale providing more comprehensive shopping, schools, and train connections to the city. The locality suits those seeking affordable acreage and a slower pace of life while maintaining workable access to Perth's metropolitan amenities.

Mardella falls under postcode 6125 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Darling Range (East Metropolitan) electorate.
