"Under Rated Suburb"
Parmelia offers so much for families.
With close proximity to several schools and parks including one of the top rated parks in Perth - Adventure Park.
Nearby you will find a golf course, a dog park, public transport, including a train station, local shopping centres and a variety of places to take the family for a meal.
There is a wide range of sporting clubs and social events for young and old.
You will also find great community spirit when you attend the events often hosted at Darius Wells Library and Calista oval.

"Something Big about to happen"
Parmelia is definitely something big about to happen.
With the government's investment into the Kwinana area, Parmelia is at the centre of all the action.
Parmelia enjoys great accessibility to a major shopping centre, recreation centre, parks, and schools.
The major streets passing through Parmelia such as Gilmore Avenue, Sulphur Road, Wellard Road, and Chisham Avenue are on the verge of a dramatic change. With streets like Chisham Avenue soon to be a cafe strip, with a new bar and bistro, and luxury apartments.
Public transport and amenities are excellent.
The Parmelia suburb will be a great location for families, young couples, and also the astute investor.
It is the next great thing waiting to happen south of the river in Perth.
And for those of you who don't know, "Parmelia" was named after the first ship carrying Captain James Stirling and his wife, to arrive in Perth and establish the Swan River colony - it is a suburb with great history.

"many areas check the neighbours"
this area gets a bad rep due to the overall stigma of unemployment in kwinana council area. living there isnt so bad as there are many people of different economic backgrounds. some ppl believe rockingham or safetybay/ secret harbour are better but the same issues arrise there- drugs, school violence and the like. generally for the lower cost of buying or renting the bus service is fantastic and the train is nearby too. as is the freeway so everything is handy to get to- work or schools or even shopping. what kwinana doesn't have, will be easy to get to via car , bus or train. even the beach is 10 min drive away. fremantle and Rockingham are also close.
