Towing in Wattleup: what the work looks like
Wattleup has changed more than almost any other suburb in Perth’s south. The old market gardens that once supplied Fremantle have largely given way to industrial land, and the area is now part of the Latitude 32 Industry Zone. Much of our work here is commercial: shipping container transport to and from industrial lots, and towing utes, vans and light trucks that have broken down at a yard or between sites.
Being close to Henderson, Naval Base and the Kwinana industrial strip, Wattleup also sees plenty of freight traffic. Breakdowns on Rockingham Road and Rowley Road involve heavy vehicles moving around you, so safety comes first.
Private cars still turn up too, usually a vehicle that has stopped on the way through to Kwinana or Cockburn and needs a tow to the owner’s mechanic.
Roads and places we cover around Wattleup
Rockingham Road runs along the western side of the suburb, linking north to Munster and south towards Kwinana. The old Wattleup townsite was at the corner of Rockingham Road and Wattleup Road. Rowley Road and Russell Road run east from the industrial area towards the Kwinana Freeway, with Hammond Park and Success to the east and Henderson to the west.
To the south, the industrial land continues into Hope Valley and on to Naval Base and Kwinana Beach.
