All About Baldivis, Rockingham, WA, 6171

Baldivis is a suburb just south of Perth, Western Australia. The municipality falls within the Local Government Area (LGA) of the City of Rockingham and has a population of around 31,000. Its name, Baldivis, was devised in the ‘20s by settlers and is a portmanteau of three ship names – the Balrand, the Diogenes and the Jervis Bay – all of which had arrived in the region around the same time carrying settlers. Featuring a number of desirable facilities such as a sports and recreation centre, a public library and a number of parks and playgrounds, Baldivis has seen rapid development as a residential suburb since the 1990s, with the focus of this growth being the western side of the suburb.

Located just 46km from central Perth and 11km from the centre of Rockingham (a centre of commerce in its own right), Baldivis’ proximity to the conveniences of urban life copules perfectly with its relaxed, semi-rural nature. Baldivis contains a number of schools and a shopping centre, and the urban growth in the area makes it an incredibly desirable place to own property; it is a stunningly beautiful, conveniently located suburb with a lot to offer.
