Question 1

Is Dalyellup a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Dalyellup is a coastal suburb on Geographe Bay south of Bunbury, set around a sandy shoreline, coastal dunes and foreshore reserves that invite walking, cycling and beach recreation. It grew as a planned residential estate, so streets are lined with relatively modern brick homes, family-sized lots and pockets of newer two-storey builds. The community is weighted towards families, with a median age of 34, and owner-occupiers make up about 71.3% of homes while renters are roughly 28.8%.

Everyday life is supported by several parks, playgrounds and sports ovals, a small village shopping centre and community facilities. The suburb has recently gained a new Dalyellup Library and Youth Hub with library space, youth areas, technology and bookable rooms, and the adjacent youth precinct includes a hybrid skate park and pump track. The South Dalyellup Beach foreshore has received a $1 million State funding commitment and is in design and community consultation, and local reporting notes a number of affordable housing dwellings being completed. Whether Dalyellup suits you will come down to how much you value seaside access, family-sized lots and proximity to Bunbury’s services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Dalyellup?

Accepted Answer

Buying sits well above local incomes: at $857,500 the median house in Dalyellup works out to about 8.0 times a typical local household's annual income as recorded at the last Census, which puts buying well above what people locally earned at that time.

Renting a house takes a sizeable share of income. At $720 a week, house rent would be about 34.8% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, roughly a third. Whether that feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances, and on whether you plan to rent or buy.

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 Dalyellup a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values have climbed strongly over the past 12 months: in Dalyellup the median house value rose 14.8%. House rents also increased, with median house rents up 9.1% over the year, a solid rise. The price increase outpaced rental growth this year, so capital growth has been the stronger performer compared with rental income. If rental return is your priority, the 9.1% rise is the figure to follow; if you care about capital gains, the 14.8% movement is the one that stands out. Whether that balance fits your plans depends on your objectives and circumstances.
