What is the DDEE?

The Darling Downs Equestrian Estate (DDEE) is located about 28 kilometres to the south-south-east of Perth, as shown on the map to the right. In practical terms, the DDEE is located towards the northeastern boundary of the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale (SoSJ).

The DDEE was created in 1986 by subdividing a dairy farm into 296 lots ranging from two to five hectares. Additionally, about 76 hectares of this dairy farm were set aside to provide a unique facility that is defined as the Darling Downs Equestrian Park (DDEP).

This combination of properties and integrated trails, with high-quality equine facilities, makes this a unique area that attracts users from as far away as Wattle Grove, Karragullen, Bickley, Ashendon, Pinjarra, Barragup, Baldivis, and even Harvey.

Additionally, the expansion of urban areas around the DDEE means that this large population can access the DDEP for other recreational purposes, such as walking, running, dog-walking and cycling.

"Volunteerism is the voice of the people put into action.

These actions shape and mold the present into a future

of which we can all be proud."
