Transport & Vehicles in Wyndham

How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.

A striking 23.9% of households in Wyndham have no motor vehicle, a figure that has climbed sharply since 2011. This makes the town far more likely to be vehicle-free than most other areas in Western Australia and across the country. Most people still rely on cars, but a significant minority live without one.
