History

edit

Treeby is primarily a rural area, originally part of Banjup but made a separate suburb in 2016 from the portion of Banjup that extended north of Armadale Road.[4][5] Situated on land traditionally inhabited by the Beeliar Whadjuk of the Noongar people, it is named after Joseph and Emma Treeby, early colonial settlers of the area.[5][6] Arriving from South Australia with plans for apple orchards, the Treeby family established a market garden on over 14 hectares (35 acres) growing mainly cauliflower and cabbage.[citation needed]

In recent years, an area previously[when?] mined for sand was developed into a new residential estate called Calleya.[when?] Stockland has a large display village called Calleya with terraces, townhomes, house and land packages, and completed land. Stockland has sold over 1,100 house and land packages in Treeby.[1][7] There is also a new estate called Kara in the western part of the suburb.[8]
