Kewdale and Welshpool in the east, Malaga and Wangara in the north: four zones of warehouses, freight yards, workshops and distributors. Nobody lives here, but this is where plenty of newcomers land their first job — warehouse, packing, delivery, forklift.
Good for
- A first warehouse or forklift job
- Labour-hire agencies
- Buying building supplies and second-hand gear
Watch out
Weak public transport and early shift starts — almost everyone here needs a car.
Getting around
Limited buses; Kewdale is near the Airport line, Malaga and Wangara need a car.
