Building in Anketell

House and land packages in Anketell: an independent guide

We had four house and land packages listed in Anketell as at 28 October 2026, from $899,999 to $963,930, and every one was a four-bedroom home on a lot of 441 to 477 square metres. Anketell is in the City of Kwinana, and much of what you would buy into there is land the City’s structure plans have turned from rural lots into suburban streets.

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 Anketell

Two structure plans set the streets, and rural land sits beside them

The City of Kwinana lists two local structure plans for the suburb, Anketell North and Anketell South. The Anketell North plan covers 97.8 hectares, most of which moved into the Urban zone on 1 December 2009, and the WA Planning Commission approved it on 17 December 2015. The same plan records that the land to its south is zoned Rural A. So a new street in Anketell can sit next to land that is still rural. Ask which plan your lot falls under and read what it shows around the lot, not only on it.

Road works are coming, in stages

Main Roads WA has announced construction funding for the first stage of the Anketell Road upgrade, between Leath Road and Abercombie Road. It says utility relocations are scheduled to start in 2027 and road construction is expected to begin in 2028. Westport says construction funding for the next stage, from Abercombie Road to the Kwinana Freeway, has not yet been confirmed. Thomas Road is classed as a Primary Regional Road, and the Anketell South plan notes traffic noise from it. If a lot backs onto either road, ask what noise conditions apply to the build.

Bigger family lots, priced from $900,000

Our three Anketell listings sat on 441 to 477 square metre lots as at 28 October 2026, two of them recording a frontage of 12.5 and 15 metres, and all three started at $900,000 or more. That is a lot of land for a four-bedroom home in a growth suburb. On the 12.5 metre lot, our page on the 19 designs drawn for a 12.5m frontage shows what fits.

Anketell in 2021 was a small place: 280 people, a median age of 44, almost every dwelling a separate house, and fewer than one home in ten rented, against more than one in four across WA. The figures describe Anketell before much of the land in its structure plans was built on, so read them as the suburb’s history rather than a picture of the new streets.

Where these came from

Package prices, blocks and frontages are from the listings on this site as at 28 October 2026. Census figures are from the ABS 2021 QuickStats for Anketell, with the WA figure from the same page for comparison. City of Kwinana, suburbs. City of Kwinana, structure plans. Anketell North structure plan amendment, WA Planning Commission. Anketell South structure plan amendment. Main Roads WA, Anketell Road upgrade. Westport, roads. 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.

The estate map shows which estates are selling in and around Anketell, what stage each one is at, and where land is available now. You can browse it without talking to anyone.

Before you commit

The six checks that decide it

They apply in Anketell 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 lot against its structure plan, and what is next door

In a suburb where new streets sit beside rural land and regional roads, the plan of subdivision tells you more than the estate brochure. Ask which structure plan the lot is in, what the land beside and behind it is zoned, and whether a road or a future road runs near it. Our guide to how to evaluate a land release lists the questions to put to the developer. When the builder’s price comes in, our guide to comparing home builder quotes goes through what should be in it, line by line.

Questions to ask before you sign in Anketell

  • Which structure plan is this lot in, and what is the land beside and behind it zoned?
  • Does the lot back onto Thomas Road, Anketell Road or a planned road, and what noise conditions apply to the build?
  • Is the block titled, and if not, what is the estimated titling date in writing?
  • What are the site costs on this block, worked out from its soil and contour reports?
  • Which estate guidelines apply, and has the builder checked the design against them?
Questions

Common questions about building in Anketell

As at 28 October 2026 the packages we had listed in Anketell ran from $899,999 to $963,930, all four-bedroom homes on lots of 441 to 477 square metres. 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.

The City of Kwinana. Anketell is one of the 17 suburbs the City lists, alongside Wellard, Wandi and Mandogalup.

Main Roads WA has announced construction funding for the first stage of the upgrade, between Leath Road and Abercombie Road, with utility relocations scheduled from 2027 and road construction expected to begin in 2028. Funding for the stage from Abercombie Road to the Kwinana Freeway has not yet been confirmed.

It suits buyers who want a larger lot for a four-bedroom home and are comfortable buying into streets that are still being laid out, with road works to come. It suits less well if the budget is under $900,000, which is where every Anketell package on our books started as at 28 October 2026.

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.

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.

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.
