Yanchep and Two Rocks, at the northernmost edge of Perth’s metropolitan area, convey a distinctive coastal sense of place defined by open space, beachside living and a slower, more relaxed lifestyle. Positioned within the City of Wanneroo’s northern coastal corridor, these suburbs combine long-standing coastal communities with areas earmarked for future growth, offering residents a balance of remoteness and gradually expanding amenities. Characterised by spacious lots, coastal plains, and a strong connection to the natural environment, Yanchep and Two Rocks appeal to those seeking tranquility, room to breathe, and a lifestyle set apart from denser urban centres, while remaining within the broader metropolitan context.

Place name and meaning
Yanchep
The suburb name and word Yanchep is derived from yanjidi or yanget, which is the Aboriginal name for the edible root of the native narrow leaf flax, Typha angustipholia or bulrush reed, found at the edges of the lakes in the area known as Yanchep National Park. Explorer and surveyor John Butler first visited and recorded the lakes in 1834. In 1970, it was officially established as a town when Bond Corporation bought land to establish Yanchep Sun City.
Two Rocks
The suburb name Two Rocks originates from the 2 geological formations sighted offshore from Wreck Point in the mid 1800’s. Two Rocks was approved as a suburb name in 1975.
