WEEKEND/KWINANA COURIER is distributed each Friday to homes and businesses in the Town of Kwinana and City of Rockingham, a region undergoing unprecedented growth and renewal.

The area is home to a mix of first home buyers attracted to the area’s affordable housing, longer-term residents in older, more established suburbs and includes a significant UK born population enjoying the coastal lifestyle.

Families with young children and pre-retirement age couples represent the majority of households.
Separate houses remain the most common dwelling type throughout the Weekend Courier area with homes being purchased the dominant tenure type.

New housing opportunities including apartment living and the revitalisation of the Rockingham beachfront with commercial, residential and community facilities have increased the area’s appeal. In the Town of Kwinana an estimated $11.5 billion will be invested in residential, industrial and commercial developments over the next 15 years. (WA Planning Commission). Reflecting the changing face of the region is a broad occupation profile.
