Why West is best.
There’s never been a better time to move to the Sunset Coast. Western Australia continues to thrive with a strong economy and a bright future. There are so many reasons people from all over the world choose to call WA home; here’s seven of them.
1. The weather
Discover Western Australia's vibrant climate, where the north boasts a tropical paradise and the south enjoys a temperate haven. Perth proudly holds the title of Australia's sunniest capital city, with stable weather conditions year-round. From refreshing winters at 18°C to sizzling summers in the mid-30s, WA's climate is a playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
With over 20,000 km of pristine coastline, beat the heat by exploring stunning beaches and cooling off with a swim. Embrace winter's charm, offering crisp mornings and clear, sunny days that turn outdoor cafes, breweries, and wineries into year-round hotspots.
As summer warms up, experience the renowned Fremantle Doctor, a cool southwesterly breeze that transforms afternoons and evenings into perfect havens. The heat in WA's summer is a welcomed companion, and here's why...
2. The Beaches
Explore Perth's stunning coastline stretching approximately 100 kilometers, offering some of the world's best beaches with soft white sands and crystal-clear waters. Head south to Mandurah and the Peel region for beautiful canals and world-class beaches.
Northward, discover Geraldton, a lively coastal town known for its turquoise waters and pristine beaches, just a 4.5-hour drive from Perth.
In Western Australia, our beaches are more than a scenic backdrop – they're a way of life. Whether you're cooling down, meeting friends, exercising, fishing or enjoying a meal with local wine while watching the sunset, our beaches are your paradise!
3. The Locals
Embarking on a journey to Rottnest Island isn't just about experiencing its picturesque landscapes and pristine beaches; it's a unique opportunity to capture a selfie with the island's endearing Quokkas. While Rottnest Island could rightfully claim its spot on any list celebrating breathtaking scenery, it's the Quokkas that truly steal the spotlight.
These delightful creatures have garnered global fame, thanks to Hollywood celebrities sharing selfies with them. However, for us locals, the Quokkas have always been the epitome of happiness, cuteness, and friendliness—qualities that mirror the welcoming spirit of the people in Western Australia.
But the charm of our friendly wildlife doesn't end on land; the coastal beauty offers encounters with sealions, dolphins, and majestic whales, enriching the overall experience of exploring our picturesque coastline.
4. Housing Affordability
A home is so much more than a roof over our heads. A safe, stable, sustainable home is key to a good life and fundamental to our wellbeing.
Western Australia stands as a national leader in championing affordable housing. Notably, the median house price in WA is only half that of Sydney, underscoring our commitment to making homes accessible to a broader population.
As an interesting point of comparison, consider that the average size of new houses in Australia is approximately three times larger than the average UK home. This statistic not only reflects the spacious living standards enjoyed in Australia but also underscores the emphasis on creating homes that cater to diverse needs and preferences.
