Websites for Greater Bunbury builders, plumbers, electricians, fencers and other trades, with your WA licence number on every page, the towns you reach from Harvey down to Capel, and the local details customers here ask about, from Aqwest connections to building on bushfire-prone land.
A Bunbury trade can spend Monday in Carey Park, Tuesday at a new house in Dalyellup and Wednesday on a farm shed past Brunswick Junction. Customers in each of those places want proof you'll come to them, that you're licensed, and that you know the local rules that affect their job.
WA's advertising rules apply to registered builders and painters, electrical contractors and plumbing contractors, and a business website counts as an advertisement. Each number you hold goes in the footer of every page with the business name it's issued to, and again beside the quote form.
Since the Wilman Wadandi Highway opened in late 2024, a trip from Australind down to Gelorup, or on towards Busselton, can skip Bunbury's local roads. If that has widened the area you'll take work in, the site should say so, town by town, with a line on where travel costs extra.
In Bunbury, Picton and parts of Dalyellup, drinking water comes from Aqwest rather than the Water Corporation. If you install and test backflow prevention devices, say that you do the yearly test and send the results to Aqwest; if you organise new water services, say that you can help with the application, the pegging and the marked plan Aqwest asks for.
Builders, roofers, glaziers and fencers who have worked to a bushfire attack level should list the ratings and show the jobs. Where a lot is shown on the state's Map of Bush Fire Prone Areas, the owner may need a BAL assessment to support the building permit application.
If you mow, slash or cut firebreaks, the councils you cover set different standards. The Shire of Harvey wants flammable material on urban lots of 2,024 square metres or less kept under 5 cm; the Shire of Dardanup caps vegetation on residential land at 40 mm. Both want the work done by 30 November.
Electricians, fabricators and maintenance crews who also work at the Kemerton industrial area or the port can give that work its own section, with the tickets and inductions you hold, so a homeowner in Withers isn't left wondering whether you take small jobs.
WA licensing in brief. Bunbury trades are licensed and registered under the same statewide schemes as Perth trades, through Building and Energy and the Plumbers and Electrical Licensing Boards, and the advertising rules are the same too. Our Perth tradies page sets out which regulation applies to which trade. Here we'll stick to what's different about the South West.
Who lives where. Greater Bunbury is planned under one region scheme covering four councils, and at the 2021 census they held about 94,000 people between them: the City of Bunbury had 32,987, the Shire of Harvey 28,567, the Shire of Capel 18,175 and the Shire of Dardanup 14,686. The biggest single localities are outside the city, with Australind at 15,988, Dalyellup at 9,770 and Eaton at 8,669, while inside it South Bunbury had 8,810 and Carey Park 5,155. The 27-kilometre Wilman Wadandi Highway, formerly the Bunbury Outer Ring Road, links Forrest Highway in the north with Bussell Highway in the south, and the state's project page says it takes about 15,000 vehicles a day off local Bunbury roads.
A separate water utility. Aqwest's licence covers the Greater Bunbury region from Myalup and Harvey down to Capel, but it currently supplies drinking water to Bunbury, Picton and parts of Dalyellup; Aqwest tells Dalyellup customers to check their water bill to see who supplies them. A new or additional Aqwest water service starts with an application form; the property has to be pegged at the new service location, a marked plan goes in with the application, and Aqwest quotes the work. Testable backflow prevention devices have to be tested every 12 months by a licensed plumber, who sends the results to Aqwest after each test. Elsewhere in the region the supplier changes, so a plumbing site covering several towns should say which supplier's paperwork you deal with.
Bushfire is local history. In January 2016, a fire started by lightning in Lane Poole Reserve burned about 70,000 hectares and destroyed 181 buildings, 166 of them in Yarloop, in the Shire of Harvey. Two people died. Properties shown on the state's Map of Bush Fire Prone Areas may need a site-specific BAL assessment to support a building permit application, and each council issues its own fire notice: Harvey's 2026–27 notice must be met by 30 November 2026 and kept up until 15 May 2027, with inspections from 1 December.
Working with us from Adelaide. We're an Adelaide web design team and work with South West businesses by phone and email. We have no WA clients yet, so the examples below are from Queensland and South Australia. Bunbury runs on Perth time, 1.5 hours behind Adelaide, or 2.5 hours during South Australian daylight saving.
Neither client is in WA. One is a plumber and gas fitter whose whole site is a single page; the other is a painting company covering a whole state, with a suburb and postcode search so customers can check their area before calling.
A licensed Queensland plumber and gas fitter doing general plumbing, gas, hot water, bathroom renovations, drainage and backflow. One page holds the six services, a 13-photo gallery that swipes on a phone, testimonials and a protected contact form.

$1,499
For larger crews: a page per main service, an industrial and commercial page, area pages for the northern and southern towns, a gallery and an FAQ.
If you do backflow testing or arrange new water services in its area, yes. Customers and property managers who've been told their device needs its yearly test want to know you'll lodge the results with Aqwest. Name the work, say you handle the paperwork, and link to Aqwest's own pages for anything about fees or eligibility.
If you'll go there, yes. With the Wilman Wadandi Highway running from Forrest Highway to Bussell Highway, Dalyellup, Gelorup and Capel are within easier reach for a northern trade. List them, add a photo or two from jobs down that way, and say plainly if travel past a certain point costs more.
Enough to show you've done it: the BAL ratings you've built to, a photo or two, and a sentence saying the assessment comes early in the process. Link to the council or state guidance rather than explaining the rules yourself, and leave site-specific advice for the quote.
Yes. Give each its own page or section, with the tickets, inductions and insurances that matter for site work on the industrial page, and simple prices and photos on the household side. The quote form can ask which kind of job it is, so the enquiry reaches you already sorted.
The same as anywhere: $399 for a single page, $899 for up to 3 pages and $1,499 for up to 8, with no GST added. Everything runs by phone and email. We build the draft first, you ask for changes, and you pay only once you approve it. Hosting after launch is $30 a month with no contract.
Send us your trade, your licence or registration numbers, the towns you'll drive to and a few photos of finished jobs. We'll quote, build the draft, and you pay once you're happy with it.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
