City Of Kwinana, Industrial coastal municipality in Western Australia, Australia.

The City of Kwinana extends across 120 square kilometers of land, situated 40 kilometers south of Perth's central business district along the western coast.

The establishment of BP's oil refinery in 1952 marked the beginning of Kwinana's transformation from rural land into a major industrial center in Western Australia.

The name Kwinana stems from Aboriginal language of the Kimberley region, referring to a young woman, connecting the area to indigenous Australian heritage.

The Kwinana Hub shopping center provides residents with retail services, community facilities, and social gathering spaces in the heart of the municipality.

The SS Kwinana shipwreck from 1922 remains integrated into the local beach area, creating a distinct landmark along Cockburn Sound's shoreline.
