"Terrible suburb, avoid if possible"
I have lived in Dianella for quite a few years now, and would encourage people to stay far, far away. While Dianella used to be a nice place to live many years ago, it has completely changed for the worse. The crime rate in this suburb is completely out of control.
I am now hearing people refer to Dianella as "The Nella" - use it in a sentence the same way you would use the term "The Hood". For example, "you'd be crazy to walk down the street alone in the Nella!". In fact, when I now hear of a Dianella crime story from a friend, family member or co-worker (which, unfortunately, is often), it often ends with the increasingly common expression "Only in the Nella", referring to the fact that so many incidents can only happen in this suburb. Burglaries, stolen cars, graffiti, assaults are all relatively common. Trying to get a decent night's sleep over the noise of Dianella residents doing burnouts and street racing all night is just about impossible.
I'm looking to move to another suburb in the next few months.
haha - the "nella".... dont know where you are living mate. Sure aint near my part of the "nella".
This is extremely odd, we live in Dianella for the last ten years in three different locations , never had an issue, it happens here and then that we leave doors unlock as well as garage and cars never had anything stolen. I walk by myself nearly every evening including the large reserve on Morley/Alexander Dr, always feels safe to me most people are very friendly. Dianella Plaza is the only downside in Dianella which is very outdated but rumours say it is going to change as well and who knows maybe the next premier will fulfil the promises for the city train of the current one.
which streets do you refer to? So vague for strong criticisms
mmm the Nella aye , forget it
you're full of it mate. Noone calls it "The Nella" haha wtf
