I have been offered a job to set up an office in Perth and I am looking for places to rent. I have only been to Perth once before so my knowledge of the suburbs is not very good. I like the idea of being near the beach, currently looking at Cottesloe and South Fremantle, I know South Fremantle is relatively dog friendly what’s Cottesloe like for dogs? Any other beach side places I should be looking at?
There’s a great dog beach near mosman park, Just down from cottesloe. I don’t really know much about the Perth real estate/ rental prices but places like Bicton and East Fremantle may be worth a look. Fremantle would be a great place to live near as there are lots of resteraunts, cafes, bars and pubs all within riding distance.
I live in cott. North cott is good for dogs. Rental in Perth anywhere is a bit shocking. With your budget you will be able to get something pretty good in cott/swanbourne.
Look around Scarbourough, City Beach, etc. Jolimont is a little further in land but still ridic close to the beach! But still 7-800 a week will get you something nice.
I lived there for 3 years, was epic. Just don’t go walking around on a wednesday night after 9. Too many fist pumping biffs on a mission to knock your block off.
Sorry to Hijack the thread Huge but I just moved to Perth too (from the UK). I got a place to stay etc but I need some local knowledge. What’s the law on riding Brakeless round these parts? Do people ride brakeless in Perth or is no no. Also I know its the law to wear a helmet but on a short little ride this morning saw a couple of people without lids.
Also any recommendations for good pubs/clubs/social activities/jobs much appreciated
A) Riding Brakeless is illegal. However plenty of people do and I have yet to have been pulled up for it.
B) Helmets are mandatory in all parts of Australia. It is against the law to ride without one.
Pubs/Clubs/Social Activities/Jobs) depends what you are into. Plenty of places to see and go in the city / northbridge / mt lawley / leederville and subiaco areas. Can’t help you with a job though sorry.

The cop next to me said its not an enforceable law anymore. There are very few cops who would waste their time on someone without a helmet unless you are causing issues in the first place.
+1 I got stopped by cops over here turning left at a ‘no left turn’ sign. Even though I was turning to go the same way as traffic lol. Asked me about my bike. I said it was a track bike then he wrote me up for $150.
Wear a helmet and they generally don’t look at you. Going helmet less mkes you an easy target!
