Medina is a residential suburb located in the southern part of the Perth metropolitan area in Western Australia. Situated within the City of Kwinana, Medina lies approximately 37 kilometers south of the Perth CBD, bordered by suburbs such as Orelia to the north, Calista to the west, and Parmelia to the east. Its proximity to the Kwinana town centre provides residents with convenient access to a range of amenities, shopping facilities, and public transport options, making it a well-connected community within Perth’s southern corridor.

The suburb of Medina is primarily characterized by its quiet, leafy streets and a mix of post-war and more contemporary homes. Residential properties in Medina largely consist of single-family detached houses, many of which were originally built in the mid-20th century to house workers for the nearby Kwinana industrial area. Over the years, there has been some modern infill development, yet much of the suburb retains its original character with generous block sizes and established gardens. The affordable nature of its housing stock has traditionally attracted families and first-home buyers, resulting in a diverse and close-knit community.

On the commercial front, Medina offers a small local shopping center that features essential services such as a supermarket, pharmacy, cafes, and take-away outlets. Larger retail and commercial options can be found in the nearby Kwinana Marketplace. While Medina itself is not a major commercial hub, its accessibility to broader City of Kwinana amenities, schools, parks, and community facilities adds to its overall appeal as a residential suburb. According to the latest census, Medina’s population is modest, with a demographic profile that reflects a mixture of young families, working professionals, and long-term residents, contributing to the suburb’s warm and welcoming atmosphere.
