Willetton is a relaxed southern suburb of Perth bound by Leach Highway to the north and Roe Highway in the south. It was first settled in the 1830s, but it wasn't until the late 1960s and 1970s that the suburb experienced genuine growth. Since that time, Willetton has evolved into a thriving suburb with an industrial sector in its north and some commercial land use throughout, which in 2019 was number one in The West Australian's list of WA's top 50 schools.
Willetton has numerous commercial and recreational facilities within its boundaries. Southlands Boulevarde Shopping Centre is a dominant fixture of Willetton and features two supermarkets, a cinema, food court and numerous retail outlets. There is also a basketball stadium, cricket club and upwards of 18 public parks. Local schools include Willetton Primary School and Willetton Senior High School.
