Overview

Wellard, a suburb of Perth in the City of Kwinana, traces its name back to 1923 when the area was known as 13‑Mile Camp and later honoured early settler John Wellard. The 2021 census recorded 14,127 residents, many of whom live in The Village at Wellard – a 320‑hectare transit‑oriented development that will house 1,700 households ranging from large freehold lots to medium‑density apartments. At its centre, Wellard Station anchors a burgeoning Village Centre with the upcoming Wellard Square precinct, where Woolworths and other retailers will line a new “main street” that opens onto a piazza‑style meeting area and the John Wellard Community Centre, home to events such as the annual neighbourhood soup gathering.

Wellard’s transport links make city‑life convenient: the Wellard railway station on the Mandurah line sits 37.3 km south of Perth CBD, delivering a sub‑30‑minute ride to Perth Underground and about 22 minutes to Mandurah. An integrated bus network (routes 541‑544) connects the station to Kwinana, Runnymede Gate and surrounding streets. Families benefit from several schools nearby, including Wellard Primary School, the newly opened Wellard Village Primary School (February 2023), and plans for a middle school, complemented by a range of primary, secondary and TAFE facilities in the wider Kwinana area.
