History
{{see also|Perth Airport#History}}
Perth Airport was approved as a locality name on 25 June 1984.{{LandInfo WA|m|P|7 September 2023}} Part of the area east of Redcliffe was previously known as Newburn, a suburb that was established in 1950 and had been the site of Red Gum Forest, a small farming community from 1912. Much of the suburb of Newburn was bought by the federal government for the airport in 1970, doubling the airport's size, and Newburn is now completely subsumed into the suburb of Perth Airport. There was also a small suburb called Dunreath in the area that was subdivided as Dunreath Estate in 1931, became a Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force training camp during World War II, and then became a hostel for post-war migrants from Mainland Europe known as "New Australians" or "Displaced persons".{{cite web|url=https://www.belmont.wa.gov.au/docs/ecm/museum-heritage-series-a-history-of-opportunity.pdf|title=A History of Opportunity|publisher=City of Belmont|access-date=7 September 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://www.belmont.wa.gov.au/docs/ecm/museum-heritage-series-a-city-on-the-move.pdf|title=A City on the Move|publisher=City of Belmont|access-date=7 September 2023}}
