Bushmead is a suburb of Perth in the City of Swan, and is located 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) from Perth's central business district. Situated on the site of the former Bushmead Rifle Range, a significant proportion of the suburb comprises parks and recreational reserve. Advertising by the developer, who bought the land for A$6.59 per square metre in 2010 from the Department of Defence on behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia, states that "185 hectares [460 acres] of conservation bushland will be handed to the State Government as a permanent regional reserve."
