Wungong

Wungong lies between Armadale and Byford on Perth’s south-eastern edge, in the City of Armadale. It grew from a government townsite on the Perth to Bunbury railway and takes its name from Wungong Brook.

The housing

The railway divides Wungong. The part west of the line is inside DevelopmentWA’s Wungong Urban project, which also covers Hilbert and Haynes. The project is planned for more than 16,000 lots across 1,580 hectares, most of it in those two suburbs.

Getting around

Wungong is on the rail corridor between Armadale and Byford. The Byford Rail Extension opened in October 2025, with a new elevated Armadale Station and a new end of line station at Byford, 46 minutes from the city.

Education

Wungong Primary School opened in February 2026 for kindergarten to Year 6. It is in neighbouring Hilbert and serves Wungong, Hilbert and nearby areas.

What is coming

The City of Armadale says DevelopmentWA intends to hand planning control of Wungong Urban, including the part of Wungong west of the railway, back to the City, with no timeline set yet.
