About Maylands

Maylands is Perth's most surprising inner suburb, an increasingly trendy community of 13,200 residents on the Swan River, 5 kilometres from the CBD. The suburb has transformed dramatically, with Eighth Avenue evolving into a genuine cafe and dining strip. The Midland line provides direct rail access.

Gentrification has brought craft breweries, boutique dining, and young professionals to what was once a modest suburb. The river access and peninsular geography add unique appeal. Maylands attracts young professionals and creative types seeking inner Perth lifestyle with emerging character.

Maylands falls under postcode 6051 and is governed by Bayswater Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Maylands electorate.
