What Walyunga National Park is known for: Green suburb

Suburb profile

Walyunga National Park is a hillside smaller community in Swan Council, with elevated streets and a greener, quieter pace. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here. The town centre holds its own, with enough local flavour to make staying close to home appealing.

Green space punches above what many comparable suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here, with trains covering longer trips across the wider area. Housing is expensive relative to much of the state.

Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period. Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.
