Singleton is an outer southern suburb of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia, located within the City of Rockingham. It is the southernmost suburb of the Perth Metropolitan Area and is actually closer to the regional city Mandurah than either Perth CBD or Rockingham. The area is under a development near the school, Singleton Primary, and near the main oval, Laurie Stanford Reserve. There is a petrol service station, a small shopping centre, and a school. The suburb was named after Captain Francis Singleton, who arrived in the area in 1839 and became a substantial landholder in the area.

Lakelands railway station
Lakelands railway station

Lakelands railway station is a railway station along the Mandurah line on the Transperth network in Western Australia. The station is in the Mandurah suburb of Lakelands, 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) north of Mandurah station and 64.5 kilometres (40.1 mi) south of Perth Underground station. Construction started in 2021 and it opened on 11 June 2023. Provisions for the station were made when the Mandurah line was originally built during the 2000s. There were several proposals to build the station during the 2010s, but when the state Labor Party came to power in 2017, it had committed to build the nearby Karnup station but not Lakelands station. Meanwhile, the federal Liberal Party wanted to build Lakelands station, so it committed to funding 80% of the $80 million required to build the station. The federal government refused requests for the funding to be transferred to the Karnup station project, therefore that project was put on hold so that the state could fund Lakelands station. This resulted in accusations that the federal government was pork barrelling as Lakelands station was in Liberal MP Andrew Hastie's seat whereas Karnup station was in a safe Labor seat held by Madeleine King. In January 2021, ADCO Constructions was awarded the contract for the design and construction of Lakelands station. The design was released in May 2021 and after a few revisions, was approved. Early works began in August 2021 and major works began in late 2021. The station opened on 11 June 2023, $8 million under budget. It has 10-minute train frequency during peak, a 15-minute frequency outside peak and on weekends and public holidays, and a 30 to 60 minute frequency at night. The station has five bus routes and a 400-bay car park.
