About Wattleup

Wattleup is a southern locality of Perth, Western Australia, situated approximately 25 kilometres south of the Perth CBD within the City of Cockburn. With a population of 443, the locality spans 11.4 square kilometres and sits alongside established suburbs including Beeliar, Henderson, and Hammond Park. The area has historically been a small residential townsite, though it has been earmarked for significant industrial redevelopment under the Hope Valley–Wattleup Redevelopment Project (known as Latitude 32), signalling a major land use transition over coming decades.

Residents of Wattleup have access to nearby commercial and retail facilities in neighbouring suburbs such as Success and Cockburn Central, which offer major shopping centres, dining, and services. The locality is well-connected by road to Fremantle and the wider Perth metropolitan area via Rockingham Road. The proximity to Cockburn Central station (on the Mandurah Line) provides rail access to Perth CBD, while the Cockburn Coast foreshore and surrounding wetlands offer natural amenity to those nearby.

Wattleup falls under postcode 6166 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Willagee (South Metropolitan) electorate.
