Port Kennedy WA
Anyone from Port Kennedy.
Looking at houses around Port Kennedy, from the location maps looks like it is set back from the beach.
Is that a reserve between the built up area and the beach or is it to be developed?
Found a link to a development agency looking for developers to build a marina and hotel. Is this planned for this green space?
Thanks
Kevin

We're in Port Kennedy. We are renting at the southern end, and the houses are roughly 1km from the beach. Port Kennedy Drive carries on down to the end of the bay and there is the Kennedy Resort down there - some nice-looking houses going up at a whopping price, at a guess. I would think that area is still seriously under development. To the left of that is the Science Park - there won't be any building there as the land is protected.
The more established part of Port Kennedy is nearer to the beach - several of the residential roads run down to the breakwater and end in car parks with walking access to the beach. The southern part of the beach is dog-free, but they can run free further up. We originally planned to rent in Secret Harbour, but abandoned the idea when we couldn't find a rental that would accept our dog. But having said that, we prefer the beach at Port Kennedy as we feel it's a more child-friendly beach. SH is a *good for the soul* beach, but quite wild, imho, and with a steep drop-off. PK is a more gentle slope and far better for kids. Imho....
HTH.

Port Kennedy looks pretty good, houses in our price, space to ride the bikes and go for walks, easy access to the beach.
Only thing not sure about is schools, would prefer to be able to walk to school.
Schools will be our priority when we get out in January as we haven't sorted anything yet as we are still unsure exactly where we are going.
