GoGoVier,
I do not know how come you get the impression that houses in Vic Park and Cannington areas are cheap! These 2 suburbs are considered quite expensive as they are near city, big shopping malls and train stations. There are houses selling for over 1mil in those places!
The reasons that these places are not that safe are also because they are near big shopping malls and train stations. More crowds = more rowdy.
A small old house with small land, or a strata will cost much lesser even in a more expensive area. So look carefully...
As for school, there's no need for you to hunt 2 schools. There are many good school that covers enrollment from kindy to Yr 12.
As for this ques "another question: i can apply the PR ourselves without going thru an agent,right?"
Yes you can. Most of us apply PR without an agent.

Hi hidora,
my "input" means any other advises? not only on area to stay.
i had checked the perth property website. they showed the price for Vic Park n Cannington area. Compare to other suburbs. they r cheaper.
Yes, i saw those very cheap ones r those old houses which u might need to do some minor renov. so i dont think these r worth. we do not wish to spend extra $$ on this... i rather keep the $$ for rainy days
as for schools, we r fine to settle with public sch. i dont think we need to spend extra to be in private sch. i had checked the expenses on some private sch. uniforms alone, will need to spend approx AU$400 as they hv 4 seasons. Exp!
We r shifting fm spore to perth, where currency rate is higher than spore. So we need to save, save, save!!! but if we r shifting fm spore to thailand, where rate is lower, that will be a different story.
Thanks for the link.
Hi mngo,
when did i mention i hv "that" money? Heehee... no lah! dont misunderstood... i hv no experience on this, so i m asking for u ladies expertise that u all find an agent here or in Perth? Ok i will start to look out for a migration agent here.
as for i wrote i might be going to Perth this Aug cos it's my birthday month n my hubby will ask me where i wanna go. not bcos i hv $$$ n can travel as and when. my hubby n i dont exchange or buy gifts for each other. we only choose to go tour together once a while.
Thks for u ladies advises. it had been very informative to me. I will take note.

Winter here is not cold
Think you can just bring normal clothes. There is no need for goose or down feather jacket.
It depends on which date you are going to be here as well. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn't.
Today's low will be 7 degree
Thursday's low is 10 deg
Friday is 13 deg
Sat is 9deg
Sunday is 8
Then 10 on monday 13 on tuesday.
I suggest you BETTER CHECK THiS WEBSITE BEFORE YOU COME http://www.weatherzone.com.au/wa/perth/perth

Hello to all the mummies out there. I am finally getting closer to our migration plans UNTIL...the officer from the embassy told us that our child visa will take 3 to 6 MONTHS to approve! Our hearts dropped. My husband and I and my eldest child already have a PR visa and were planning to move to Perth this year...then baby no. 2 came along and so I gave birth in S'pore. Today I went to the Australian Embassy to submit our baby's application and was told that it'll take 3 to 6 months to approve. I thought I read in the above thread a mother mentioned her child's visa was approved within 2 wks. Anyone recently applied for a child visa? Looks like we have to make changes to our plans again.

Hi hidora and mngo,
Thanks for the welcome and happy new year! I am at west side of Perth! What about you, hidora? Mngo, I believed you are living around Canning Vale (from the post above).
Thank goodness the weather is not that bad these days!

Hi Pinky Poh,
you might want to check out www.realestate.com.au under the rental section.
The rental prices varies depending on the suburbs, no. of rooms that you are looking at etc

Hi Pinky Poh,
I am not too sure about private schools but for public school, the school that is in your catchment area (the suburb u are staying at) will take him in.
Is your boy turning 5 or have turned 5 already? He shld be in Pre-Primary here if I am not wrong. The public school normally have kindy (for the 4 - 5 years old) then Pre-primary and thereafter Year 1 and so on.
Which suburbs are you looking at?

Hi everyone,
We have gotten the PR recently and planning to move over to Perth sometime around Mar next year. Now, we are looking at houses to buy.
May I know if you bought the land and build the house from scratch or buy from resale?
We are looking at SOR, Piara Waters or nearby. Any recommendations?

Seems like this thread has died down, hoping to revive 
At last, we have bought a place in Canningvale, Hidora and Mngo, hope to get in touch with you cos I read from the above posts that you live there too.
My gal is 3 years old next yr and trying to enrol her into Caladenia PS for Kindy but our hse is JUST one street out of their local intake map, can we appeal? In terms of location, Caladenai PS is so much nearer than Campbell PS which our hse falls into.
Hope to get some advice here. Thanks.

Hi,
Hope this thread is still active
I've lost touch with some of the moms here already.
Have been in Perth for more than 6 years now.
@kriscap: have you managed to meet up with Sgp mommies?
@neongoby: I hope you have managed to enrol your girl into Caladenia. Should not be a problem with boundary lines. If they have the vacancy, it will work out.
Anyway, hope that this thread will be revived
