Question 1

Is Binningup a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Binningup is a small, low-key coastal village on WA’s Indian Ocean coast between Mandurah and Bunbury. Life there centres on a long sandy shore, dunes and coastal scrub, and the beach draws swimmers, surfers and anglers. Housing is low-density, with older holiday cottages alongside newer permanent homes, and the community of 1,296 people has a median age of 45 and a median household income of $1,754 a week. Household composition is dominated by couple households and most homes are owner-occupied.

Local services are limited, so residents rely on nearby regional centres for shops, health and schools, but straightforward road links and the natural setting make Binningup a peaceful base for weekend escapes and everyday coastal living. The Shire of Harvey is advancing several council-led coastal and recreational projects — a skatepark and playground, foreshore planning and beach works, carpark and bus bay upgrades — and the suburb hosts the Southern Seawater Desalination Plant and coastal hazard planning for future foreshore management.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Binningup?

Accepted Answer

Housing costs in Binningup sit notably above what local households were earning at the last Census. The median house price of $865,000 is about 9.5 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census (median weekly household income $1,754, annualised to $91,208). Renting a house at about $650 a week would take roughly 37% of that weekly household income, a sizeable share. On these figures, buying is considerably more stretched against local incomes than renting, though renting still takes a significant portion of a typical household's income.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Question 3

Is Binningup a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values in Binningup climbed 21.5% over the past year, a strong rise, and house rents rose 20.4% over the same period, also a strong increase. The value change reflects capital growth and the rent change reflects rental income; both moved strongly this year, so whether Binningup suits your investment aims depends on whether you prioritise capital growth or rental income and on your own circumstances.
