Lakelands, Western Australia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lakelands is a suburb of Mandurah, located 65km south of the City of Perth. Its postcode is 6210.

Lakelands is the northern most suburb of Mandurah and bordering at the northern point to the Rockingham district. Around March 2007 Lakelands received the new 6180 postcode. It shares this postcode with Parklands. See http://www1.auspost.com.au/postcodes/ for more Australian postcode info.

To the south of Lakelands is Meadow Springs. The western side is bounded by an overburdened highway separating Lakelands from Madora Bay and the Western beaches. Like many of Mandurahs suburbs there are hardly any footpaths available forcing pedestrians to walk on the road.

The eastern side is currently bounded by the new Perth Mandurah train line but future extensions of Lakelands wil see it grow to the eastern side of this line.

Block sizes are around 500mtrsq. The nearest shoping area is just south about 2-3min drive in Meadow Springs.

No wireless broadband suppliers operate here as at March 2007 and the local telephone exchange does so far not have any ADSL2+ capability.

Driving to Perth from Lakelands before 05:30hrs takes about 1hr but any later can take much longer due to overloaded road system and unfinished train service. End 2007 the new trainline is expected to operate and scheduled to take around 50min for the Mandurah to Perth trip.

The earliest bus service to Perth is via Transperth 867. It leaves Mandurah Rd/Madora Beach Rd at 05:38 and will arrive Perth central 06:47.
