Welcome

The Rockingham Kwinana region in the south-west of the Perth metropolitan area has long been recognised as a desirable place to live, work, play and invest.

The Rockingham Kwinana Development Office (RKDO) is a State Government initiative that brings together representatives from LandCorp, Department of Planning, City of Rockingham and Town of Kwinana.

The RKDO is now working hard to implement major infrastructure projects to help the region realise its full potential.
