Hi there and welcome to the forum. :)

As you've asked a few specific questions in the Welcome Inn, I've moved your thread to the Australia forum for you.

Enjoy B.E. :)

100k is ok but really depends on the role and your qualifications as to if its good pay or not.

Have a look at realestate.com.au for rentals

For rentals you have in principle all the options in the Rockingham Shire which is next to your workplace, sort of.

I always say to people, for the beginning it is best to move into a newish house, as it will be in better condition.

Baldivis consists of several new estates, there should be plenty of choice.
Secret Harbour, parts of Port Kennedy, parts of Waikiki would be a choice.
Even a bit further down, eg Lakelands and Meadow Springs would be still fine.

A few private schools are around too. Kolbe is doing pretty well in the ranking recently.

Bills is difficult. Check the Western Power website for electricity rates. Without aircon, I would say maybe $400 for 2 months. Water depends if you have a bore or not. Maybe $100/per month incl supply charge. Gas, maybe $100 a month?

Pay isn't based on location, it is based on occupation, seniority level etc. It is impossible to comment on whether a salary is good or bad based on location.

Well not strictly true but I take your point.

$100K for "operator" is Kwinana is pretty good.
