Physical Description

There are up to 200 paperbark trees (Melaleuca Rhaphiophylla) along the roadside (both sides) of Beenyup Road in Atwell. The trees range from c. 20 to 40 years of age and are generally in good condition.
Subdivision approval granted to construct a housing development on either side of Beenyup Road required the developers to leave the remnant paperbarks intact.

History

Beenyup road was one of the first roads constructed by the Jandakot Districts Road Board before its disbandment in 1871. The road has seen numerous upgrades over the years. One of the distinguishing features of the portion of Beenyup road between Tapper Road and Gibbs Road are the paperbark trees which line the roadside.
