Autumn Has Arrived in Whitby
As summer gives way to autumn, there's a noticeable shift in pace across Whitby Town. The days are still warm, the evenings are cooler and outdoor spaces become the perfect setting for relaxed afternoons and weekend catch-ups.
It's a season of steady progress across homes, landscaping and shared spaces as our community continues to grow. Here's what's happening this March.
Estate Updates
All currently available land at Whitby Town is now sold out, with many future residents preparing to begin the next stage of their building journey.
We're looking forward to sharing news of upcoming land releases. If you're hoping to call Whitby home, be sure to stay in touch for updates as new stages become available!
Progress Across Our Stages
Stage 5D
Project completion is scheduled for early April, marking another step forward as construction wraps up and lots move closer to being ready for building.
Stage 5E
Titles are expected in April, meaning purchasers will soon be able to settle and begin bringing their homes to life.
Stage 5F
Clearance works are targeting completion in May, preparing the stage for its next phase.
Stages 5G and 5H
Bulk earthworks have now commenced, with crews on site shaping the land and laying the groundwork for future homes.
Heartwood Park: A New Place to Gather
We're pleased to see Heartwood Park, including its popular ninja course, now complete and being enjoyed by the community, alongside new streetscape works across the estate.
Designed as a shared outdoor space for all ages, the park encourages movement, connection and everyday moments outdoors. The ninja course has already become a favourite for local families, while the open grassed areas provide space for relaxed afternoons, picnics and catch-ups with friends.
These additions create more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and spend time together close to home. As more families settle into the community, spaces like Heartwood Park help shape the character of Whitby and provide somewhere simple and accessible to enjoy time outside.
Community activities and updates will continue to be shared via our Facebook and Instagram channels, so be sure to follow along and stay connected.
What's On This March
March brings a range of activities across the wider Serpentine Jarrahdale area. Keep an eye on local event listings for the latest updates!
SJ Farmers Market
Every Saturday | 8am – 12pm at 2 Paterson Street, Mundijong. Pick up locally grown produce, homemade goods, fresh baked treats and quality coffee. A favourite weekend stop for Whitby residents and a great way to support local businesses all year round.
The Byford Library
The Byford Library continues to host regular community activities, including Saturday Story Time for young readers and Mahjong Mondays for those looking to connect over a friendly game. Creative locals can also take part in the Bunting Sew In Day, a hands-on session perfect for anyone who enjoys sewing and crafting in a relaxed, social setting.
Anzac Day Dawn Service
Saturday 25 April | 5:30am at the Mundijong War Memorial. The community is invited to attend this service to reflect and honour those who have represented our country in times of war. A traditional gunfire breakfast and morning tea will follow.
Mobile Library Visits Whitby
The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale's mobile library stops by Whitby every fortnight, parking right in front of the Whitby Sales Office. It's a convenient way to borrow books, discover new reads and access library services without leaving the neighbourhood.
Whether you're looking for picture books for the kids, a novel for yourself or just want to see what's on offer, it's worth popping by on your next visit. The mobile library is free to use for all Shire residents.
For the full timetable and stop locations, visit the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale mobile library page.
Autumn Planting Tips
Autumn is one of the best times to plant in Western Australia. The cooler conditions and warm soil allow new plants to establish strong roots before winter arrives.
For Whitby homes, consider low-maintenance and water-wise options suited to local conditions: native shrubs such as Grevillea and Callistemon for colour and birdlife, Kangaroo Paw for seasonal interest, Lomandra and Dianella as hardy border plants and groundcovers to help retain soil moisture and reduce weeds.
When planting:
- Choose well-drained soil
- Use native-specific, low-phosphorus fertiliser
- Group plants with similar water needs
- Add mulch to retain moisture and reduce evaporation
Thoughtful planting not only enhances your home but also supports the natural character of Whitby Town.
Whitby continues to grow with care and consideration, with new stages progressing and shared spaces coming to life. As we move into autumn, we look forward to seeing more homes begin, gardens take shape and neighbours connect across the community.
