Close to Jandakot airport with plenty of bushland, road and rail links.
The City of Cockburn has announced it's created Perth's newest suburb - Treeby.
The new area hives off a portion of land from the suburb of Banjup north of Armadale road and is named after Cockburn pioneers Joseph and Emma Treeby, who settled in the area and developed a vegetable garden in the 1890s.
Three of the Treeby's sons and one grandson served in World War 1, with one son killed in action.
The City's Director of Planning and Development Daniel Arndt said Treeby would see a portion of the suburb developed as a new urban area from land used in the past for sand mining.
"This will occur primarily over the privately owned ex-sand-mined sites between Jandakot Road, Warton Road, Armadale Road and Calleya Estate, which is the first stage of this new urban development," Mr Arndt said.
"The area will contain approximately 4,000 new residential dwellings, a town centre and two new primary schools. The area will be centred around a protected bush forever site."
Mr Arndt said Treeby was being developed in accordance with the state government's strategic plan to grow Perth's population to 3.5 million people - but the new suburb would preserve local history and the environment.
"All development must adopt measures which will protect the important Jandakot water mound, which help build the resilience of the regional park bushland reserves," he said.
"Respecting and celebrating our history is critical to Cockburn. This City of Cockburn has a number of measures in place to preserve and promote history, including a local heritage inventory, a register of significant trees and a local museum at Manning Park."
Treeby and its surrounding suburbs are seeing rapid growth and the city has joined forces with Armadale officials to push for the building of a bridge to connect Armadale Road on the east of the Kwinana freeway with North Lake Road on the west side.
There's no backing for the plan yet, but Mr Arndt said Cockburn will continue to push for funding as it develops Treeby and the surrounding area
"This piece of infrastructure is vital to service the communities and businesses between Cockburn and Armadale, which form the major growth areas south of Perth," he said.
