Forrestfield is a suburb of the City of Kalamunda in Western Australia. It lies 15 km to the southeast of Perth at the base of the Darling Scarp and the southern border of the Perth International Airport.
The suburb is split by Roe Highway into a southern residential area and a northern industrial area. The suburb is adjacent to Wattle Grove, Cloverdale and Kalamunda.
The industrial area contains a major rail hub. It was originally Forrestfield marshalling yard operated by WAGR and then Westrail.
It is currently the Aurizon depot for Perth.
Specialised Container Transport (SCT) have a large intermodal warehouse with connection to the railway line.
The $120 million Co-operative Bulk Handling Metro Grains Centre was built in 1998. In mid-2005 BlueScope Steel constructed a large warehouse on former Westrail land.
Kenworth DAF also relocated from Guildford to a new $10 million complex on Abernethy Road in 2005.
In June 2014, the Forrestfield Airport Link was announced by the State Government. The Airport Link is a $2.3 billion train line connecting with the Midland railway line near Bayswater Station, servicing the airport and finishing in the Forrestfield–High Wycombe area. Completion of the new train lines is scheduled for 2020.
