BenAtherton1 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hi My wife and I (both aged 27) are planning our move early next year (2014) and are currently progressing nicely through gaining our 190 visas. We are at the stage of trying to decide exactly where on the map to try and settle and after much research, have both been struck on Yanchep. I am a bricklayer, my wife is an admin assistant for the local council here in the UK. To my understanding at the moment, Yanchep is quite remote, which we see as a plus, with several large urbanisation projects in the pipeline for the next many years. This in turn creating many localised employment opportunities throughout all industries. Im basically after confirmation, (ideally from expats that are/have a similar age/working background as us) that my wife and I would find work relatively quickly/easily upon our arrival in Yanchep, thus helping us settle, and that the local economic outlook for the area (within the near future at least) is a bright one.

bensdad Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yanchep is growing, company I work for is building over 300 houses there from next year. Land corp have just sold a massive chunk of land off as well. Problem is you really need a car the bus service is intermittent. New woollies supermarket now open as well as a few others. Land reasonably cheap at jindowie. Like you said a bit remote and about an hour to Perth CBd. Up and coming are will be booming in a few years.

sam and craig Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yanchep is a beautiful place and is not that remote, being only a 15 minute drive from as of yet the most northern train stop at Clarkson, which will be extending to butler in 2012,( 10 minuets drive to Yanchep) with plans for the train line to reach Yanchep in the future, the seems to be plenty of building work at the moment, my OH is a brick layer and has had plenty of work so far.

bensdad Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The train line will not be in butler on time, this has been well documented in the local press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam and craig Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 i did mean to say 2014, as we are already in 2013:rolleyes:, the train line is late, but its well on its way as i pass it most days, but as with every thing in Perth it will be ready when its ready.

bensdad Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The company I work for owns the land that yanchep station will be built on and we've been told it will be at least 4 or 5 years late. Don't know why the station at butler is late though as the shunting yard is just south of butler at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam and craig Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 a friend of mine works for transperth and they have been unofficially told not the except the train to reach Yanchep till 2028. though i think it will be a shame as by then Yanchep will possibly lose some of its charm when it is linked to all the other northern suburbs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest26012 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I like Yanchep and yes, it does have a certain charm! To the Op there are huge building projects going on up there at the mo. We are building at Amberton about halfway between Butler and Yanchep, well nearer to Yanchep. Then there's Alkimos, another's building project. Your wife may have to travel to find work though.
