How Beeliar
was built
Beeliar, postcode 6164, saw significant residential development from the 1970s through to the 2000s, with a notable portion of homes built in the 1970s-90s band. This period established much of the suburb's character, predominantly with brick-veneer on slab construction and timber-framed roof structures. Following this, the area experienced further growth with new estate construction continuing post-2000, adding to the mix of housing styles. A smaller number of properties pre-date 1970, contributing to the suburb's varied architectural landscape.
