About Australind
Welcome to Australind
Australind sits on the shores of Leschenault Estuary in the Bunbury-Greater region of Western Australia's South West, roughly a two-hour drive south of Perth. It's grown from a small coastal settlement into one of the fastest-developing residential areas outside the capital, prized for its water views, family-friendly layout and relative affordability compared to Perth's metro sprawl.
With a population of just under 16,000 and a median age of 36, Australind has become a magnet for young families and couples looking to buy their first or next home within reach of Bunbury's job market and amenities. Its neighbours, Millbridge and Eaton, form part of a broader corridor of newer estates that have reshaped the area's identity over the past decade, while Australind itself retains pockets of established streets closer to the estuary.
Lifestyle & dining
Life in Australind revolves heavily around the water. The Leschenault Estuary and Collie River foreshore offer a scenic backdrop for walking, cycling, fishing and paddling, and much of the suburb's social life plays out along these waterways on weekends. Local cafes and takeaway options service the day-to-day needs of residents, with a broader and more varied dining scene available a short drive away in Bunbury and the newer Millbridge town centre, which has become a popular gathering spot for coffee and casual meals.
Shopping
Everyday shopping is well catered for through Australind's local centres, while bigger-format retail, supermarkets and specialty stores are concentrated in nearby Eaton Fair and the Bunbury CBD, both an easy drive from most parts of the suburb. The steady growth of Millbridge has also added extra retail and lifestyle options to the immediate area, giving residents more choice without needing to travel far.
Getting around
Australind is designed around car use, with the Australind Bypass and Forrest Highway providing quick links to Bunbury and, further north, to the Perth-Bunbury Highway corridor for those commuting to the city or travelling home on weekends. Public bus services connect the suburb to Bunbury, though most households rely on private vehicles given the spread-out nature of the estates and the distance to major employment hubs.
Schools & families
Families are well served by a strong spread of local schools, including Australind Primary School, Kingston Primary School, Parkfield Primary School and Treendale Primary School, alongside Leschenault Catholic Primary School for those seeking a faith-based option. Secondary students can move through to Australind Senior High School, giving the suburb a full run of schooling options without needing to leave the area, a drawcard for many young families choosing to settle here.
Parks & recreation
Beyond the estuary foreshore, Australind offers a good network of local parks, playgrounds and open reserves typical of its newer residential estates, supporting an active, outdoors-oriented lifestyle. Boating, crabbing and fishing are popular pursuits given the direct estuary access, and the flat, well-connected streets make walking and cycling an easy part of daily life for residents.
The property market
Australind's property market is dominated by houses, which make up around 90% of current listings, with land (6%), apartments and units (3%) and townhouses (1%) making up a small remainder. The median house price sits at $805,000 after growth of 15.0% recently, reflecting strong buyer demand for the suburb's family-sized blocks and estuary proximity, while units carry a median of $650,000. Renters can expect to pay a median of $690 a week, underlining Australind's position as a sought-after, if increasingly less budget-friendly, alternative to Bunbury proper.
