About Wellard
Welcome to Wellard
Wellard sits around 40 kilometres south of Perth's CBD, in the corridor between Kwinana and Rockingham, and has grown from a semi-rural outpost into one of the southern suburbs' busiest young family hubs. Its train station, opened as part of the Mandurah line extension, put Wellard firmly on the map for commuters willing to trade a longer journey for more space and newer homes.
With a median age of just 31 and a population of over 14,000, Wellard has the feel of a suburb still filling in around its residents — new estates, new schools and new parks appearing alongside established pockets. It suits first-home buyers, growing families and anyone chasing a modern house on a decent block without paying inner-city prices.
Lifestyle & dining
Wellard's day-to-day life revolves around its town centre precinct, local cafes and the steady rollout of family-friendly amenities that come with a rapidly built-out suburb. It's not a destination for nightlife or heritage streetscapes, but it offers the practical comforts residents want close to home, with Kwinana Town Centre just next door providing a broader spread of cafes, restaurants and everyday services for those after more variety.
Shopping
For bigger shopping trips, Kwinana Town Centre is the natural hub, offering major supermarkets, speciality stores and services within easy reach of Wellard. Locally, smaller retail and convenience outlets have grown alongside the suburb's residential estates, meaning day-to-day errands rarely require a long drive, while Rockingham's larger retail and dining precincts are also within a reasonable trip for bigger outings.
Getting around
Wellard's train station on the Mandurah line is one of its biggest drawcards, giving residents a direct rail link into Perth without needing to battle Kwinana Freeway traffic. That freeway is close by regardless, offering a straightforward drive north to the city or south towards Mandurah and Bunbury. Bus routes connect the suburb's newer estates to the station and to neighbouring Bertram, Casuarina and Parmelia, making it manageable for households without a second car.
Schools & families
Families are well catered for locally, with Wellard Primary School and Wellard Village Primary School both serving the suburb directly, alongside independent options in Peter Carnley Anglican Community School and The King's College nearby. This spread of public and independent schooling, combined with the suburb's young median age, has made Wellard a popular choice for parents wanting their children to start and finish schooling within a short drive of home.
Parks & recreation
Wellard has been designed with green space in mind, and its estates typically include parks, playgrounds and walking paths woven through the residential streets. The nearby Wellard Wetlands and surrounding bushland reserves give residents a bit of natural bushland character not far from the newer housing, while sporting facilities continue to expand as the suburb's population grows.
Housing & architecture
The vast majority of homes in Wellard are houses — 91% of current listings — reflecting its identity as a low-density, family-oriented suburb of modern brick-and-tile and contemporary builds on suburban blocks. Land sales still make up 7% of listings, a sign that new estates continue to release fresh blocks, while apartments and units remain a rarity at just 1% of the market.
The property market
Wellard's median house price currently sits at $838,000, following strong recent growth of 17.5%, a sign of the sustained demand for affordable, newer housing in Perth's southern corridor. Median rents of $700 a week point to solid interest from tenants too, likely a mix of families and commuters drawn by the train line and proximity to Kwinana's employment and retail base. With neighbouring Bertram, Parmelia and Casuarina offering similar new-build stock, Wellard competes well within that cluster while benefiting from its own station and town centre.
