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 Serpentine-Jarrahdale Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Canning, while state elections fall under the Darling Range (East Metropolitan) electorate.
