Brabham, Western Australia

Brabham is a suburb located about 21 km (13 mi) north-east of Perth's central business district.Caversham Airfield was constructed by the US military to be used as a base for bomber aircraft during the later stages of World War II.Following the war, the strip was no longer required for aircraft and so it was converted into a racing track, hosting the Australian Grand Prix twice, in 1957 and 1962.In 1969, all WA circuit racing was moved to the newly opened Wanneroo Park Raceway and so the federal government developed the facility into a radio communications hub.The current councillors for the area are: Development of the suburb commenced in 2011 at the Whiteman Edge estate by Stockland.
