Bunbury Suburb Profile

Bunbury is WA's second city: a relaxed regional hub about two hours south of Perth where beaches, dolphins and sunsets do the heavy lifting. It's affordable enough that families priced out of Perth are increasingly making the move. The waterfront precinct is genuinely beautiful. The city centre has struggled with homelessness and the usual small-city gaps in services and nightlife, but ongoing investment in rail, roads and renewables suggests Bunbury is slowly growing into something more.

At $990k and rent of $650/week, the local housing market is close to the Perth metro median. The area's 4/100 safety rating is 48 points below the metro average of 52. It has 10 schools with a combined rating of 48/100, above average. The suburb's median age of 49 and household income of $1,614/week sit near the broader average.
