English and the largest community languages.

About 33.5% of people use another language at home, which is far above the national figure of 22.3%. This high diversity is reflected in the mix of Mandarin, Tagalog, Arabic and Punjabi speakers, and it's among the highest levels for any similar area. Around 4.2% of residents speak little or no English, which is a little above the Western Australian average.
