A Site Rich in Local History
The property sits on land once influenced by the Hoffman Steam Pressed Brick Company, later acquired by the Coulthard Brothers-an important contributor to the local brick industry. Clay from the site was used until the 1980s, transported to nearby kilns located where the current truck arrest bed stands.

The block itself, originally 3283sqm, stretched from Convicts Creek-now flowing through the Goat Farm Mountain Bike Park-all the way up to Old York Road. Its front boundary has been adjusted by 27 metres to improve safety and create access via the parallel Great Eastern Highway Service Road.

A Region on the Cusp of Transformation
Great Eastern Highway has long linked Perth to the eastern states and WA's Wheatbelt and Goldfields, shaping the growth of the region. That evolution continues, with construction of the Orange Route (Perth-Adelaide National Highway / EastLink WA) commencing in 2025.

This major infrastructure project will:
• Upgrade the Reid and Roe Highways
• Create a new controlled-access route from Perth to Northam
• Bypass the Perth Hills, removing heavy vehicles and road trains from Great Eastern Highway
• Enhance connectivity for suburbs like Stratton, Jane Brook and Middle Swan
• Potentially boost property values in surrounding areas such as Greenmount and Darlington
