Commuting From Kwinana and Parmelia to Perth, Rockingham, and Surrounding Areas
Cassia Keeps You Conveniently Connected
Living at Cassia means it’s easy to get where you’re going, every day of the week. The Kwinana Freeway, Wellard Road, and Gilmore Avenue sit close by, helping you move around without fuss:
Perth CBD is about 45-55 minutes away if you commute to work by car.
Rockingham is 10-15 minutes away for beach time, a meal, or an easy night out.
Mandurah is 30-40 minutes south, a simple day-trip for foreshore walks or a relaxed day with the kids.
Main Roads WA is progressing a major upgrade to the Kwinana Freeway between Roe Highway and Safety Bay Road, including a stretch you’ll use daily if you drive to Perth from Kwinana or Parmelia. The planned upgrade will deliver:
More lanes along the Kwinana Freeway to ease congestion.
New coordinated ramp signals to smooth peak-hour traffic.
Safety and drainage improvements designed for long-term reliability.
Community feedback gathered in pop-up sessions is helping to shape the project. Local residents highlighted the importance of reduced congestion, better cycling and walking paths, improved noise walls, and safer ramps. Once complete, these upgrades will help make everyday travel smoother and give you even stronger links to Perth, Rockingham, and neighbouring areas.
Living in Cassia means you don’t need to drive every day. There are two well-connected train stations within easy reach:
Wellard Station is only 4-5 minutes by car with around 300 parking bays, less than 20 minutes by bus from both Cassia precincts, or a comfortable 20-25-minute walk from Cassia Rise.
Kwinana Station is a 6-8 minute drive away or about 20 minutes by bus, with more than 600 parking bays.
Both stations are “Independent Access” for all-abilities travel, and offer pedestrian facilities as well as secure bike parking.
There are also regular bus routes linking Cassia with local employment hubs and train stations. From both Cassia Glades and Cassia Rise, bus routes run to key destinations such as Kwinana Town Centre, Wellard Station and Rockingham. For the most up-to-date route information and trip planning, use the Transperth app or website to plan your journey. With these public transport options, it’s easy to leave the car at home, whether you’re heading into Perth or staying local.

Cassia Rise
Cassia Rise is thoughtfully designed for walking and riding. You can walk your kids to St Vincent’s Primary School and several local parks, including Quarry Park and Hinckley Street Pocket Park. On weekends or slower mornings, a 20 to 30-minute walk brings you to Wellard Station and nearby shops.
Cassia Glades
Kwinana Town Centre and Kwinana Marketplace are reachable by foot or bike from Cassia Glades, located just across Challenger Avenue. Hawkeswood Boulevard Park and Cassia Share Place are even closer within the precinct. It’s the kind of community where errands become easy walks, and you’re likely to meet friends along the way.
The City of Kwinana’s Bike and Walk Plan 2025-2035 sets out an exciting vision for safer, easier active travel across the region. The plan aims to make walking and cycling more accessible for people of all ages and abilities by expanding shared paths, improving connectivity between neighbourhoods, and supporting car-free travel where possible. The plan focuses on:
Creating a connected network for commuting, recreation, and daily trips.
Encouraging more residents to walk or bike by improving path quality and safety.
Adding facilities like off-road paths, bike lanes, and shared streets where cars and bikes can move safely together.
Promoting cycling and walking as part of everyday life makes for a healthier, more connected community.
