Can anyone help with Mandurah/Bunbury
Hi, can anyone help? We are just in the throws of starting the application progress for State Sponsorship to WA.
My husband is a carpenter by trade, but has his own building company. Initially we are looking at Mandurah and Bunbury as our first options. We have two girls aged 3 and 6. Just want some help please?! what is the work situation like in these areas? and the schools? Any advise tips or other locations we should consider would be greatly appreciated. |
Re: Can anyone help with Mandurah/Bunbury
Basically there is a recession and no one is buying and therefore building houses, so I would wait a few years otherwise it could be tough...although I would imagine UK is worse

I live very close to Bunbury and would go with the advice of the poster above. There are an awful lot of people out of work, returning from mines back to their trade jobs and i really would NOT like to be arriving just now :blink:

Re: Can anyone help with Mandurah/Bunbury
Thank you for your honest opinions, thought the recession would obviously have some effect but didnt anticipate it being that bad :(
Only thing that makes us want to act sooner rather than later is that age is not on our side. Both 41 this year! |
Re: Can anyone help with Mandurah/Bunbury
We live in Mandurah. One of my closest friends is a builder (only been in the country 4 months) and hasn't had a day out of work yet, and has worked lined up almost to Christmas.
I would chose Mandurah over Bunbury, due to it's closeness to Perth. We have 2 boys (10 and 1) - the primary schools are average/good, but seemingly the high schools are dire and that you really need to get your kid into a private one - which aren't as expencive as you'd think. Any other questions feel free to PM me! Kareena |

But the question was Bunbury OR Mandurah! Don't really see what your point is at all. I (me) would prefer to live in Mandurah rather than Bunbury, as Mandurah is closer to Perth!

Any advise tips or other locations we should consider would be greatly appreciated. I believe that you need regional state sponsorship, my bet would be Mandurah because it is closest to Perth. As a suburb, the closest to Perth would be Lakelands (estate with over 2,000 plots). In one hour you are in Perth by train if you need a change. I can't say how the work situation is like, I only hear that a lot of ex-miners are trying to find work in their former trade. |
