Treeby is a southern suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Cockburn. It is located on the east side of the Kwinana Freeway, close to Cockburn Central.

History

Treeby is primarily a rural area, originally part of Banjup but made a separate suburb in 2016 from the portion of Banjup that extended north of Armadale Road.[1] [2] Situated on land traditionally inhabited by the Beeliar Whadjuk of the Noongar people, it is named after Joseph and Emma Treeby, early colonial settlers of the area.[3] Arriving from South Australia with plans for apple orchards, the Treeby family established a market garden on over 35acres growing mainly cauliflower and cabbage.

In recent years, an area previously mined for sand was developed into a new residential estate called Calleya. Stockland has a large display village called Calleya with terraces, townhomes, house and land packages, and completed land. Stockland has sold over 1,100 house and land packages in Treeby.[4] [5] There is also a new estate called Kara in the western part of the suburb.[6]

Geography

Treeby is bounded in the north by the eastern border of the Jandakot Industrial Area, Dollier Street, Fraser Road, and the City of Canning, and in the east by the City of Armadale. The suburb is also bounded by Jandakot Road, Candelore Road and Acourt Road in the north, Warton Road in the east, Armadale Road in the south, and the suburb of Jandakot, Dollier Street and Solomon Road in the west.
