Previously part of Forrestdale and gazetted in 2007, Piara Waters is located approximately 20 kilometres (12 mi) south-southeast of Perth.

As a suburb that has been converted from small farms to residential lots, the population of Piara Waters has grown significantly from fewer than 100 in 2006 to over 14,000 as of 2021.

For the older community, a new residential lifestyle resort[7] between Southampton Drive and Warton Road is currently populated with residents while ongoing development continues.

[citation needed] The suburb was the site of an out-of-control party in September 2012 that transformed into a youth riot which was the subject of Australian national news.
