Why we get called to Bateman
Bateman sits right on one of the busiest junctions south of the river, where Leach Highway crosses the Kwinana Freeway. Freight trucks heading to and from Fremantle share the road with commuters, and the result is a steady run of breakdowns and crashes on the highway along the suburb’s northern edge. When a car is damaged, we organise the accident towing and can bill your insurer directly.
South Street and Murdoch Drive bring their own share of jobs, particularly with traffic heading to Murdoch University and the hospitals nearby. Inside the suburb, it’s mostly cars that have sat too long, flat batteries on the morning school run near Corpus Christi College and commuters whose cars won’t start at Bull Creek station.
Around Bateman: roads and neighbours
Leach Highway forms the northern boundary, with Brentwood across the road. The Kwinana Freeway runs along the east, separating Bateman from Bull Creek, and the train station sits in the freeway median at the Leach Highway interchange. South Street marks the southern edge, with Murdoch beyond, and Murdoch Drive runs down the western side next to Winthrop.
Parry Avenue is the main local street, home to the small shopping strip. Because the suburb is surrounded by major roads, we can usually get a truck to you from several directions.
