Business networking in Wellard.
Wellard is a 22-year-old master-planned, transit-oriented suburb built around Wellard Station and The Village at Wellard. It's the only suburb in BNI Coastal Rockingham's catchment with active medium-density apartment development at its train station, five DevelopmentWA land parcels in the village centre sold or under contract for over $6 million in late 2025, with walk-up apartments and a 92-place childcare centre now under construction. That makes Wellard genuinely different from every other suburb on this site.
What's shaping Wellard right now
The Wellard Village Centre at the station: five DevelopmentWA parcels transacted in October 2025, two- to three-storey walk-up apartments under construction, 92-place childcare centre delivering Q4 2025, additional Stage 1 construction Q1 2026. This is the chapter's single most active village-centre transformation.
Why Wellard matters to our chapter
Wellard is the only suburb in the catchment with medium-density apartment development at a train station, strata managers, body-corporate lawyers, small-fitout trades, and small-business tenants for the new village centre are all near-term referral targets that simply don't exist in similar volume elsewhere in the chapter's territory. Wellard also has the catchment's highest hospital-employment share (5.0%), meaning a meaningful base of nurses and allied-health professionals who reliably buy lifestyle and finance services from local providers.

13 minute drive via Mortimer Rd → Mandurah Rd. The chapter meets every Wednesday from 6:45am to 8:30am on the Rockingham foreshore. Parking near the venue is free before 9am, so most Wellard visitors are on-site before peak traffic builds.
Visiting is free for first-time visitors, and your first hot beverage is on the chapter. Register on Eventbrite to attend.
Common questions from Wellard business owners
Is Wellard already in a BNI chapter catchment?
Wellard sits at the southern edge of the historic BNI Kwinana Elite catchment and within easy reach of BNI Coastal Rockingham. The Coastal Rockingham meeting is a confirmed Wednesday-morning fixture; if you prefer that day or the foreshore venue, it's a 13-minute drive south.
What makes Wellard's referral profile unusual?
Two things. First, it's the only suburb in the catchment with active station-area apartment and childcare construction, strata managers, fit-out trades, and small-business tenants are referral sources you can't find in identical density anywhere else. Second, its 5% hospital-employment share supports a stable allied-health professional base that consistently buys lifestyle and finance services.
How well does Wellard's train link help BNI members?
Wellard Station is on the Mandurah Line, connecting straight into Perth CBD in about 35 minutes. For chapter members in Marketing (web, design) and Business Services (consulting, accounting), this means Wellard small businesses often serve both local Kwinana clients and Perth-CBD clients via the rail link, broadening their referral pipeline.
Does the chapter need any specific categories in Wellard?
The Open Categories page is the authoritative list. With active medium-density development underway, strata management, body-corporate legal services, small commercial fit-out trades, and signage/branding for the new village centre tenants are all genuinely useful chapter additions if you serve this area.
