Tranquillity meets connectivity at The Glades. This fast-growing community is connected to the future Byford train station and new Tonkin Highway extension. These connections ensure a seamless commute to Perth CBD and Perth Airport, giving you more time for the things that matter.
Driving at The Glades
Nestled at the foothills of the Darling Scarp, The Glades is a place where you can enjoy the picturesque natural surrounds while being perfectly positioned for work, family, and adventure.
You’re only around 35 minutes from both Perth City and Perth Airport. Fast, direct links to other major centres are right on your doorstep via the Tonkin Highway, just five minutes away, and the Kwinana Freeway, 15 minutes away. At The Glades, you can savour the peace and serenity of nature without sacrificing your lifestyle.
Tonkin Highway Extension
Work is currently underway to extend the Tonkin Highway with a 14km, four-lane dual carriageway from Thomas Road through to South Western Highway. This $1bn project will improve traffic flow and access to Byford, streamlining travel to the airport, the CBD, and major industrial hubs. It’s also set to create an estimated 4,400 local jobs.
Scheduled for completion in 2028, the Tonkin Highway extension will make trips to and from Perth CBD faster and easier. And for FIFO workers, getting to and from the airport will be smoother than ever. You can spend less time travelling and get home to your family sooner.
Orton Road Upgrades Now Complete
Safety and access along Orton Road improved in early 2025 thanks to upgrades as part of the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale’s “Hypergrowth Road Projects”. Upgrades included road widening, pavement rehabilitation, drain cleaning, and lighting design improvements. Orton Road connects The Glades to Soldiers Road, Byford Train Station, and Tonkin Highway, making it an important accessway for our fast-growing community.
