Kwinana continues to grow

Statistics show Kwinana as the fastest growing community in Perth's
South West Corridor.


The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) recently released their interim population growth rates for Western Australia and we can happily report ongoing growth of 3.5%.

This puts Kwinana in the top 10% of Western Australian Local Governments and reinforces the widespread message that our Town will soon become a thriving metropolitan city.

With an estimated population of 29,029 (at June 2010) residents the Town is within reach of becoming a City which can only happen once the official census shows population at 30,000 or more.

A full snapsot of our population predictions can be viewed on the Town's website.

Community Centres in Wellard and Bertram are being progressed, with individual community reference groups having been recently set up for both.

The Wellard Village Community Centre is being built on the corner of Runnymede Gate and the Strand and construction is set to commence in the next couple of months. The two-storey building will include a range of multi-purpose activity rooms, a kitchen, creche and playground and is jointly funded by the Town, the Village at Wellard Joint Venture and Lotterywest.

The Bertram Community Centre, to be located opposite the new IGA on Johnson Road, is also well progressed and final funding is currently being sought. The single-storey centre will also have multi-purpose rooms, but in addition will have consultation space for community health workers and an outside performance courtyard.
