Named after a small blue lily, Dianella has retained its link to nature with plenty of small parks and a large regional open space. Close to the City, with a good selection of homes that cater for all tastes and budgets, Dianella is a large established suburb with a lot to offer.
Property in Dianella is as diverse as its community with everything from modest post-war dwellings to spacious, contemporary double-storey homes and upmarket properties built high on the ridge with terrific city views.
Known as Media Hill, for decades, Dianella’s hill was home to Perth’s commercial TV stations, Channel Seven, Nine and Ten. But times are changing with Channel Seven already moving its offices to Osborne Park, Channel Nine and Ten are expected to follow suit.
Once vacant, the media precinct will open up for development in the coming years with a number of proposed residential redevelopments already on the drawing board. Offering a mix of houses, units and apartments, the new development will cater for the growing demand for affordable living options near the CBD.
