About Relocating to Perth

With an array of stunning parks and beaches and a climate similar to the Mediterranean, moving to Perth has clear benefits. The city also offers excellent employment opportunities and a high standard of living due to its strong, stable economy built on abundant natural resources. In 2019, the city was even voted as the most liveable place in Australia! Perth is undoubtedly remote, sandwiched between desert and ocean, yet it retains a cultured, sophisticated feel with sleek modern buildings and diverse dining options. Perth’s strong expat community is testament to its popularity and one look at the breath taking Indian Ocean sunsets, you’ll see why.

Suburb Profiles

There are plenty of options when considering where to make your home overseas in Perth. Read more about where to live in Perth.

Applecross

The central southern suburb of Applecross offers beautiful houses, quiet jacaranda lined avenues and stunning views across the Swan River. It’s a very short commute to the city centre and has excellent schools and the best playground in Perth.

Burns Beach

With its enviable location overlooking the Indian Ocean, Burns Beach is fast becoming one of the most sort after locations in Western Australia. The northern suburb’s beautiful beaches and pristine parklands are perfect for families thinking of living in Perth.

Yanchep

Yanchep is located on Perth’s stunning northern coastline and boasts both a beautiful, sheltered beach and spectacular National Park. It is perfect for those looking for a suburb with a rural feel yet also has good links to the city and all the amenities a busy family could want.

Carramar

Carramar is a quiet suburb with a warm, community feel just 30 minutes north of the city centre. It is centred on the Carramar shopping village and community centre and is very close to Lake Joondalup and Neerabup National Park.

Transport in Perth

Perth has a clean and efficient network of buses, trains and ferries all operated by Transperth, or Transwa in more rural areas. Five main train lines link the city to many of Perth’s suburbs and is a popular choice for commuters. As well as the wider bus routes, there is a free ‘CAT’ bus service running throughout the city centre. Perth’s simple, clear road network is driver friendly and, like all of Australia, there is a huge emphasis on road safety.

Leisure Activities and Things to Do in Perth

Perth is packed with beautiful spaces to relax and explore. Kings Park boasts 1000 acres of bushland and gardens right in the heart of the city with stunning views across the river. There are several pristine beaches, including Cottesloe, Scarborough and Trigg. Hillarys Boat Harbour combines a stunning beach and leisure park with a huge selection of shops, restaurants and bars, including some of the best fish and chips in town.

Perth Zoo is also a great family day out with a huge variety of indigenous and exotic creatures. There’s plenty to do around the outskirts of Perth too, the Swan Valley is particularly worth venturing out to for foodies and wine buffs. The port town of Fremantle has maintained its colonial atmosphere and its famous ‘Cappucino Strip’ is the perfect place to sip, sup and chat away an afternoon.

If you fancy a more active daytrip, pack a snorkel, cycling shorts and a picnic and catch a ferry to the beautiful Rottnest Island, you might even spot one of the Island’s adorable ‘Quokkas’, a rare, small marsupial found in just a handful of places in Western Australia.
