Ashby is a suburb of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia 26 kilometres (16 mi) north of Perth's central business district. Its local government area is the City of Wanneroo.
The suburb came into being in the late 1990s as a subdivision of Wanneroo, and was named in 1997 after a local landowner, Mr E E Ashby, who owned land in the area in 1913.[3]
Geography
Ashby is a triangular suburb and is bounded by Wanneroo Road to the southwest, Pinjar Road to the southeast and Conti Road to the north. About 40% of the suburb has been developed for residential purposes.[4]
Transport
Transperth bus route 467 operates through the suburb via Carosa Road, Mondrian Approach, Fomiatti Street, and Hollosy Way, passing The Ashby Village shops. Until 1 February 2026, the route travelled along Carosa Road all the way to Pinjar Road, with two paris of stops near Siena Link and Elton Park removed as part of the route realignment enabling the route to serve the adjacent suburb of Singara. Route 468 operates along the western edge of the suburb on Wanneroo Road.
