Mundijong, WA 6123

Mundijong is positioned between the coast and the hills and it is called an 'outer Perth suburb'. However, most people would think of it as a small old style country township, much like Byford. There is a rural focus, with large acerages in the area, but a mix of newer and modern 4 bed homes and older cottages are readily available. In recent years, Byford has changed to become more urban and it looks as if Mundijong is set to go the same way - urbanisation has arrived in the 'near' south west! The train line is expected to be extended to Mundijong as is Tonkin Hwy, so ease of access will lead to more activity. The West Mundijong Industrial Estate will create new business and work opportunites, and along with housing development, will encourage more people to move into the area. I get the impression that right now the population is a 'town in waiting' - waiting to see how the new changes will affect them and whether they will see benefit or a negative impact on their own property and lifestyle. It will interesting to observe how these changes go and whether the area changes for the better in the minds of those already living there.
