Transport & Connectivity
Baldivis has no train station of its own. Transperth bus routes 564–569 connect residents to Warnbro Station on the Mandurah Line, from which the Perth CBD is around 38 minutes away, while the Kwinana Freeway, which runs through the suburb, offers a roughly 30–35 minute drive to the CBD by car. Safety Bay Road and Eighty Road are key local arterials, with a continuous pathway along Safety Bay Road and a new roundabout at the Kendall Boulevard intersection completed as part of recent local road upgrades. Verify current timetables and traffic conditions before relying on any commute estimate.
Education
Baldivis is served by 13 schools, including Baldivis Secondary College, Ridge View Secondary College and Baldivis Primary School in the public system, and Mother Teresa Catholic College, Tranby College and Settlers Primary School among private and independent options. Always verify availability and waitlists directly with providers.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Stockland Baldivis shopping centre is the suburb's main retail and social hub, offering supermarkets, medical facilities, a dentist, a gym, cafes and The Chase pub, with more than 1,400 car parking bays. The suburb has an extensive network of parks and playgrounds across its newer estates, including Brightwood Adventure Park, alongside more established, leafier pockets around Settlers Hills.
Employment
Major Employment Hubs
- Local employment is weighted toward retail, healthcare, trades and logistics, with Stockland Baldivis shopping centre itself a significant local employer and Rockingham more broadly providing the nearest concentration of larger commercial and industrial employers.
Commercial Centres
- Stockland Baldivis is the dominant commercial centre, supplemented by smaller neighbourhood shopping strips across the suburb's estates.
Infrastructure
The $38.9 million Baldivis Sports Complex, the City of Rockingham's largest-ever community infrastructure project, opened as a 20-hectare facility with three playing fields, competition lighting and an indoor recreation centre, funded through a combination of $12.5 million from the State Government, $26.3 million from the City of Rockingham and further contributions from Cricket Australia. The project also delivered road upgrades including the widening of Eighty Road and a new roundabout at the Safety Bay Road/Kendall Boulevard intersection.
No further projects beyond those noted above are currently confirmed for Baldivis. Check Infrastructure Australia's project pipeline, State Government announcements or the City of Rockingham's website for the latest updates.

Key Risks
- Baldivis has no train station of its own; the nearest is Warnbro Station around 1km away depending on location within the suburb, so residents rely on buses or cars for rail access.
- As an active growth-area suburb, ongoing construction and new estate settlement can add supply that affects competition among sellers and landlords.
- Interest rate and lending sensitivity — like all property markets, local prices and buyer activity can be affected by changes in interest rates and lending conditions.
