Hazelmere is a suburb of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia, 14 kilometres (9 mi) east of Perth's central business district (CBD) in the City of Swan local government area.
Bordered by Roe Highway to the east, and the Great Eastern Highway Bypass to the south, Hazelmere is at the northern edge of Perth Airport land.
History
Hazelmere is part of the Woodbridge land grant given to Captain James Stirling in 1829.[2] When a Guildford auctioneer bought the land in 1883, he subdivided the property into smaller lots, and one was named Hazelmere after the English suburb of Haslemere in Guildford, Surrey.[2]
Formerly an extensive rural buffer between Midland and the airport it is almost completely Industrial land.
Bushmead rifle range
The former Commonwealth owned land of the Bushmead rifle range that bordered on the formation of the former Upper Darling Range Railway has been sold to property developer Cedar Woods Properties Limited - more specifically its subsidy Dunlan Property Pty Ltd [3]
