Aveley, Western Australia
It is also a reference to the Barrett-Lennard family who previously owned the lands in the suburb[4] - their ancestral estate, Belhus Manor, was located in the town.Three scarred trees, DAA IDs 17316, 17317 and 17318 are present in the Wistful Wetlands swamp reserve to the west,[5] and two camp sites were identified during the area's re-zoning process in 1994.[7] Towards the end of the 1800s, both grants had come under the ownership of Fremantle merchant George Leake,[8] creating the area known as the Ellen's Brook Estate.[13] In 1987, John Roberts of Multiplex bought the half of Belhus west of the Ellen Brook and founded Egerton estate - a commercial thoroughbred horse stud, an aviary[14] & private zoo and also a rural retreat for himself and his family.[17] Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip spent two nights at Egerton as guests of Roberts, during their 1988 tour of Australia for the Australian Bicentenary.Multiplex declined an invitation to join the Ellenbrook joint venture company,[20] but nonetheless, commenced detailed structure and town planning[21] to re-zone Egerton from rural to urban, with an intention to develop the lands at a later date on their own terms.The western edge of the suburb is situated on a large hill on the Gnangara Mound, reaching 50 metres above sea level.[36] A third commercial zone comprising mostly fast food restaurants exists in the south-west corner of the suburb on Gnangara Road.[41] High school students fall into the catchment for Aveley Secondary College, located on the boundary with Ellenbrook in the north.
