Suburb of Perth, Western Australia

Suburb in Western Australia, Australia

Stoneville is a suburb east of Perth in the Shire of Mundaring, Western Australia. It is named after Edward Albert Stone, who was Chief Justice of Western Australia when the place was named in 1905. The name was chosen by the local residents, who were developing the district for fruit growing. The town’s population is 2,050, with a median age of 36 years and 7.1% of residents aged over 65.

In a bushfire in January 2014 a considerable number of houses were destroyed.[3]

In 2019 local residents resorted to activism[clarification needed][citation needed] in a bid to stop a proposal by Satterley Property Group for the North Stoneville Structure Plan 34[4] development in favour of more sustainable housing. External studies showed that existing road infrastructure could only cater for approximately 70 more dwellings[5] and Main Roads Western Australia confirmed there were no upgrades planned[6] for the area intersecting Great Eastern Highway. A special councillors’ meeting was held in August 2019, at which the Mundaring Shire unanimously rejected the proposal.[citation needed] In July 2020 the structure plan was refused by the Western Australian Planning Commission, and as of November 2025[update] the proposal was before the State Administrative Tribunal.[7]
