About Kwinana

Kwinana today is a thriving and expanding community, integral to the industry of Western Australia, yet cushioned by natural bush and set on the Indian Ocean coastline.

Right now there's a sense of excitement in Kwinana. The Town is on the brink of something big and over the next decade massive investment will transform the once quiet residential suburb into a vibrant cosmopolitan centre.

Government and private investment in Kwinana during this period adds up to an incredible $11.5 billion and will result in new residential, commercial and industrial developments. Unprecedented growth will see a doubling of the population, together with a substantial shift in residential diversity and housing types.

This is not just a dream or an intangible plan for the future - change in Kwinana is happening right now! In recent times the Town has seen the opening of state-of-the-art educational facilities; new residential developments take shape; and the historic opening of the most significant piece of transport infrastructure in Western Australia – the Perth to Mandurah railway including Kwinana's two train stations. The new rail service is seen as the catalyst for the Town's economic revitalisation and the area is benefiting from uniquely designed transport orientated developments that are setting a benchmark in the Perth residential market.

Add this to our beautiful bushland setting, our close-knit community and forward-thinking Council and it is clear that Kwinana is looking forward to the brightest of futures.
