"A vibrant mix of residential, commercial, educational and tourism areas"
FREMANTLE GAZETTE is distributed each Tuesday to homes and businesses in the City of Fremantle and Town of East Fremantle a vibrant mix of residential, commercial, educational and tourism areas.
Lone person households account for over a third of all households (a mix of younger adults, baby-boomers and seniors) followed by couples with no children and those with dependent children. Household sizes are generally smaller than the Perth average and the median age is also above average at 39 years.
As the area is home to the University of Notre Dame it is not surprising that the number of singles has grown since the last census and that 34.3% of residents have lived in the area less than 5 years. A predominantly Australian born population followed by the UK and a smaller but historically significant Italian born community.
While separate houses are most common, there is a well above average concentration of medium-high density dwellings and the dominant tenure type is rental (notably in City of Fremantle) followed by owned outright (notably in Town of East Fremantle). The area’s occupation profile is distinctly professional/white collar.
COCKBURN GAZETTE is distributed each Tuesday to homes and businesses in the fast growing City of Cockburn. Affordable residential development has attracted first home buyer couples and families with dependent children.
Separate houses account for 88% of dwellings (there is currently little medium-high density housing) and the dominant tenure type is purchasing, followed by fully-owned (in older more established suburbs).
A mainly Australian born population with one in ten residents from UK/Ireland. There is a mixed occupation profile divided between professional/white collar (50%) , followed by semi skilled/unskilled (19.8%) and technical and trades (19.3%).
New development projects are designed to create local jobs, new opportunities for business and investment and deliver vital services and infrastructure to people living and working in the area. The area’s population is expected to grow to over 100,000 in the next 10 years.
