Mirrabooka Suburb Profile

REIWA

Mirrabooka was formally created as a suburb in 1982 following the abandonment of the original vision of the area, which was to be a ‘satellite city’ that would help accommodate a rapidly growing post-war population. Mirrabooka is 14 kilometres from Perth and largely characterised by single detached dwellings of brick and tile construction.
