How Brookdale
was built
Brookdale, located in Perth's southern corridor, sits at the base of the Darling Scarp foothills. Its development reflects a mix of housing eras, with older homes built before 1970, alongside a roughly equal number of dwellings constructed between the 1970s and 2000, and more recent builds from 2000 onwards. This blend of construction periods, often featuring brick-veneer and timber-framed roof construction, contributes to the suburb's varied character.
