From pristine beaches and world-class parks to marinas, wetlands, shipwrecks, scenic trails and major events, the City of Wanneroo has it all.
Who we are
Our region, now home to an estimated 246,147 residents and recognised as one of the fastest‑growing in the country, is forecast to grow to over 438,000 over the next twenty years especially in East Wanneroo, Two Rocks and Yanchep.
More than 40 per cent of residents of our residents were born overseas, drawn to a City that reflects Australian values of fairness, inclusion and looking out for one another.

A destination city
For tens of thousands of years, the Whadjuk Noongar people cared for this land.
After European settlement, the Cockman family and other pioneers helped shape the Wanneroo community we know today. Iconic tourist attractions include Yanchep National Park, Crystal Cave, Lake Joondalup, Wanneroo Botanic Gardens, Mindarie Marina, Cockman House, Wanneroo Raceway and old King Neptune.
There are more than 500 parks and reserves, playgrounds, community spaces and award-winning restaurants, market gardens, golf courses, libraries, cafes and wineries to enjoy.
An eye to the future
The City has laid the foundations for high productivity jobs and the industries that will drive tomorrow’s economy.
We are home to the Australian Automation and Robotics Precinct (AARP) in Neerabup – a world-leading collaborative innovation hub and Australia’s largest test and development site.
We recently delivered the $85 million Alkimos Aquatic and Recreation Centre to cater for our growing northern region, and soon, ground will be broken on the $75 million Neerabup Resource Recovery Precinct (NRRP).
