Merseylea was gazetted as a locality in 1965.[2]

Geography

The Mersey River forms the south-eastern boundary before flowing through to the north-west where it forms part of the north-western boundary. The Western Rail Line runs through from south to north-west.[3]

The B13 route (Railton Road) passes along the south-west boundary and through the southern end of the locality. Route C154 (Merseylea Road) starts at an intersection with B13 and runs through from south-west to north.
