"Replacing Rockingham as 'The Bronx'"
A suburb which had fantastic potential, but thanks to cheap house and land is fast (and faster) becoming unnatractive. HUNDREDS of idiots riding off road motorbikes through vacant land/blocks. 4WD's and hotted up cars hooning and cutting up parks and verges at ALL HOURS of the night!!!
Graffiti is on the increase (moved here over 2 years ago and struggled to find ANY).
The stocklands shopping centre is apparently 'going to be the biggest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere' - and yet thats exactly what Stocklands said about Cockburn Gateways, which hasn't expanded an inch since it was built. We got a Masters hardware store. That'll be about it.
Warnbro train station carpark is PACKED by 6.30am, so if you like to catch the train to work after that time forget about getting parking there. There is a few bus services through Baldivis but far from impressive.
Roadworks and construction EVERYWHERE!!! IIt's unnatractive and looks terrible.
When I first viewed this page before I moved to Baldivis the ranking was 95/100. Now its 80. I'm betting it will continue to fall.
I read the other day in one of the Rockingham newspapers they want to put a Police station in Baldivis due to the continual increase in crime. Police have said that is not on the cards anytime in the near future. Things look great :/
No wonder the median house price in perth is on the up and Baldivis is stagnant. SO many houses for sale in this suburb - gee i wonder why.
Can't wait for mine to be one of them.
Not great for
- Hoons
- Unnatractive
- Lack of facilities/services
Sounds a little melodramatic to call it the bronx? Crime targets people in this level of income and housing stock because they have nice cars, houses and belongings, but don't have enough money to get security installed. As for the shops, if all the shops planned for the area were put in before there was population to support them, they would all close down and the town centre would look like a wasteland. Roadworks are to be expected when the suburb is so constantly expanding. I think your expectations are ridiculous.
A massive area near the existing shopping centre is up for commercial sale, closing date May 2013 so I am confident shopping centre will grow big. Warnbro Train Stn is under going upgrade with some additional 400 parks and bus bay, on a positive, you are likely to get a seat on the train in the morning in peak hour traffic heading into the city. The next priority with the Council is a Police station based in Baldivis. The areas that were just mounds of dirt/underdeveloped with hoons now have houses, so couldn't imagine this type of hooning will last long...
time for you to move on then
