It was formally part of the suburb of Henley Brook. Brabham also includes the Caversham Motor Racing Circuit reserve where Sir Jack Brabham raced in the early days of his motor racing career. The airfield was constructed by the US military to be used as a base for bomber aircraft during the later stages of World War II. Following the war, the strip was no longer required for aircraft and so it was converted into a racing track, hosting the Australian Grand Prix twice: once in 1957 and once in 1962. In 1969, all WA circuit racing was moved to the newly opened Wanneroo Park Raceway and so the federal government developed the facility into a radio communications hub/","The suburb of Brabham was established in May 2011 to pay tribute to Sir Jack Brabham, a renowned Australian motor racing figure.
