The City of Wanneroo is located on the north-eastern fringe of Perth’s metropolitan area, spanning 12 to 60 kilometres from the Perth CBD. Already home to more than 200,000 people and 16,000 businesses, we’re one of the fastest growing local government areas in Western Australia (WA).
We’re committed to building a strong foundation for growth by unlocking industrial and commercial land, investing in infrastructure, collaborating with State agencies and industry, and creating environments that attract, retain and grow future-focused sectors like automation, clean tech and advanced manufacturing.
See the City’s Economic Development Strategy (2022 – 2032) for more information.
