The Ballajura local area is made up entirely of the suburb of Ballajura. It is predominantly a residential suburb with established schools, commercial centres, and open spaces. Cullacabardee defines the Ballajura boundaries to the north, Whiteman Park to the east, Malaga industrial area to the south, and Alexander Heights and the Koondoola Regional Bushland to the west.

Ballajura is approximately 14km from Perth CBD and has good connectivity for vehicles with Alexander Drive to Perth City, Hepburn Avenue to the coast and the Reid and Tonkin Highways.

Ballajura is within 30 minutes of the Perth International and Domestic Airports, and in late 2024, the Ballajura Train Station was officially opened as part of METRONET’s Morley-Ellenbrook Line. The station has significantly improved public transport access for residents, with a 21-minute commute to Perth CBD and regular services throughout the day.
