[edit] History

The suburb's name comes from Stake Hill ( 32°23′S, 115°46′E), a hill which is about 15km north of the suburb. Stakehill Road runs around the north side of Stake Hill (the hill) in the Baldivis area but doesn't run south to Stakehill, the suburb. The area was unpopulated until the 1960s, and settlement in two rural subdivisions took place in the 1990s.

[edit] Geography

Stake Hill is bounded by the City of Rockingham border to the north, Mandurah Road to the west, Lakes and Lakelands Roads to the south and Gull Road to the east.^[1] The suburb consists of sparsely populated rural residential land with large (~2 ha) lots separated by bushland buffers, with some wetland areas to the southeast and several large lakes and pools along the Serpentine River which flows through the suburb.
