About Wandina
Wandina is a suburban locality on the southern fringe of Geraldton, Western Australia, situated approximately 7 kilometres south of the city centre within the City of Greater Geraldton. With a population of around 4,375 and a notably young median age of 34, Wandina is a predominantly family-oriented suburb with above-average household sizes and incomes that reflect employment in Geraldton's services, agriculture, and resources sectors. The suburb was gazetted in 1985 and has grown steadily as one of Geraldton's newer residential areas.
Wandina offers modern housing stock, well-maintained parks, and family-oriented amenities including schools and sporting facilities that cater to its young demographic. The suburb has a multicultural character, with residents of South African, Indian, and Filipino backgrounds alongside a strong Anglo-Australian community, and a significant Catholic population. Its southern coastal position provides easy access to beach recreation along Geraldton's Indian Ocean coastline, and relatively affordable housing compared to Perth makes it attractive to young families and first home buyers in regional Western Australia.
Wandina falls under postcode 6530 and is governed by Greater Geraldton Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Geraldton electorate.
