House and land packages in Hilbert: an independent guide
We had two house and land packages listed in Hilbert as at 20 October 2026, from $668,550 to $747,250, and the cheaper one sat on a block about a third smaller. Hilbert is in the City of Armadale, but its planning rules are currently set by DevelopmentWA rather than the City, which is the first thing to understand about building here.
Why this guide exists
Almost everything written about building in a Perth growth suburb is written by somebody selling you a block or a build. These guides are not that. We do not own land, we do not build homes, and you do not pay us, so what follows is what we would tell a client sitting across the table.
What to know about building in Hilbert
DevelopmentWA, not the council, sets the planning rules
The City of Armadale says Hilbert, Haynes and part of Wungong make up the Wungong Urban Water redevelopment area, which is under DevelopmentWA’s planning control. The City is working towards taking that control back and says there is no timeline for it yet. In practice that means the planning rules and design requirements for your block come from DevelopmentWA’s framework and the estate’s guidelines. Ask your builder to confirm which rules the design has been checked against.
The suburb you buy is not the suburb it will be
The City of Armadale describes Hilbert and Haynes as high-growth greenfield suburbs west of the Armadale city centre. It says their population went from a few hundred in 2010 to more than 8,000 in 2023, and is forecast to pass 31,000 by 2046. A proposed district community centre and library beside Shipwreck Park is on the City’s advocacy list, which means it is wanted, not yet funded. Buy for what is built today and treat the rest as upside.
Two block sizes, and the trade between them
Our two Hilbert listings showed the choice plainly. One was a three-bedroom home on a 240 square metre block with a 7.5 metre frontage. The other was a four-bedroom home on 375 square metres with a 12.5 metre frontage, priced $78,700 more as at 20 October 2026. A narrow lot keeps the price down and asks more of the design. Our guide to narrow lot home designs explains what tends to fit. For that 7.5 metre lot specifically, our page of 7.5m frontage house plans compares the six designs drawn for it.
Hilbert, as at 20 October 2026
These are advertised starting prices for a block and a home priced together by one of our builder partners. Both sat at the lower end of what we had listed across Perth on the day.
| Package | Home | Block | Frontage | Advertised from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lot 1025 Unter Lane | 3 bed, 3 car | 240 m² | 7.5 m | $668,550 (as at 20 October 2026) |
| Lot 834 Amsterdam Parkway | 4 bed, 2 car | 375 m² | 12.5 m | $747,250 (as at 20 October 2026) |
Who lives in Hilbert
| Hilbert at the 2021 Census | Figure |
|---|---|
| People | 4,165 |
| Median age | 29 |
| People per household | 2.9 |
| Median weekly household income | $2,073 (ABS, 2021) |
| Median weekly rent | $370 (ABS, 2021) |
| Homes owned with a mortgage | 77.1% (WA 40.0%) |
| Homes rented | 13.7% (WA 27.3%) |
| Couple families with children | 50.9% of families (WA 44.6%) |
Hilbert in 2021 had a median age of 29, younger than Two Rocks, Hammond Park, Wellard or Lakelands. More than three in four homes were owned with a mortgage, nearly double the WA share, and only about one in seven were rented. That reads as a suburb of owner-occupiers rather than investors. The population has grown sharply since the Census, so these figures describe the early shape of the place, not today’s numbers.
Where these came from
Package prices, blocks and frontages are from the listings on this site as at 20 October 2026. Census figures are from the ABS 2021 QuickStats for Hilbert, with the WA figure from the same page for comparison. City of Armadale, normalisation of DevelopmentWA precincts. City of Armadale, advocacy projects. Prices move and the Census is five years old. Check current figures before you rely on them, and ask us for the number on the block you are actually looking at.
What we have listed in Hilbert
Listings change week to week, so what is below is rendered live rather than written into the page. If nothing suits, tell us what you are after. Some of what we place is never advertised.
Estates in and around Hilbert
The estate map shows which estates are selling in and around Hilbert, what stage each one is at, and where land is available now. You can browse it without talking to anyone.
The six checks that decide it
They apply in Hilbert the same as anywhere: site costs, which way the block faces, titles and timing, what is genuinely included, the estate’s design guidelines, and the total contract price on your actual block.
Check the rules your design was drawn against
Because planning control in Hilbert sits with DevelopmentWA while the area is being built, a design that suits a block in a neighbouring City of Armadale suburb may not suit one here. Ask the builder which planning rules and estate guidelines they checked the design against, and get that in writing before you sign. Our guide to fixed price and cost plus contracts explains what can still change after you do.
Questions to ask before you sign in Hilbert
- Which planning rules and estate guidelines has the builder checked this design against, and will they put that in writing?
- Is the block titled, and if not, what is the estimated titling date in writing?
- Which community facilities near the block are funded, and which are only proposed?
- On the narrower block, which way does it face, and does the design get light into the living areas?
- What are the site costs on this block, worked out from its soil and contour reports?
Common questions about building in Hilbert
How much is a house and land package in Hilbert?
As at 20 October 2026 the packages we had listed in Hilbert ran from $668,550 to $747,250, the difference being mostly the size of the block and the home. Those are advertised starting prices. The figure worth comparing is the total contract price on the block you are looking at, with site costs and exclusions listed.
Is Hilbert a good place to build?
It suits buyers who want a new home at a corridor price and are comfortable living in a suburb that is still being built. It suits less well if you need finished schools, shops and community facilities from day one, because some, like the district community centre, are still only proposed.
Who approves building plans in Hilbert?
While Hilbert is part of the Wungong Urban Water redevelopment area, planning control sits with DevelopmentWA, and the estate may add design guidelines on top. Your builder handles the building permit. Ask which rules your design has been checked against.
Is Hilbert part of Armadale?
Yes. Hilbert is in the City of Armadale, west of the Armadale city centre, next to Haynes. The planning arrangement is the unusual part, not the location.
Can I buy land in Hilbert and choose my own builder?
Sometimes. Some blocks are sold on their own and some only as part of a package with a set builder. Ask which it is before you put down a deposit, because it decides whether you can compare builders on the same block.
What does it cost to use House & Land Co?
Nothing. We are paid by the builder you choose from our panel, and nothing is added to your contract for using us. Our how we get paid page sets the arrangement out in full.
Weighing up Hilbert against an established suburb?
That is the conversation worth having, and it is one nobody selling you a block can have honestly. It costs nothing and there is nothing to sign.
