Several motels and a caravan park operate along Albany Highway.

The area's shopping needs are served by Dog Rock Shopping Centre and Albany Shopping Plaza, both just beyond the southern boundary of the suburb between Middleton Road and Albany Highway, and by a small shopping centre on North Road.

[edit] Transport

Centennial Park is located on three of Albany's major routes - Albany Highway, North Road and Middleton Road - and is served by several routes from Albany operated by Love's Bus Service.
