Woodlands Woodlands is an attractive inner suburb bounded by Wembley Downs, Innaloo, Doubleview and Churchlands and is about 7 kms from Perth. The centre-piece of Woodlands is Jackadder Lake, a popular picnic and model boating area. The suburb name was approved in 1961 and the name comes from the developer's promotional name of Woodlands Estate. In keeping with the "wood" theme of the suburb name, many of the local streets are named after trees |
