Mandurah is a coastal city in the south west, 74 kilometres south of Perth. Land was originally reserved for a townsite named “Peel” on the west side of the entrance to Peel Inlet in July 1831, however development did not proceed and most early settlers established themselves on the eastern shore, known by its Aboriginal name “Mandurah”. The name is believed to be derived from the Aboriginal word mandjar, meaning “trading place”.
Today, Mandurah is one of Western Australia’s largest and fastest-growing regional cities, recognised for its waterways, relaxed coastal lifestyle and strong sense of community.
The city is centred around the Peel Inlet and estuary system, which supports local tourism, recreation and fishing industries, alongside a diverse small business sector, retail, health services and education facilities.
Mandurah also benefits from strong transport links to Perth via road and rail, making it an accessible coastal hub for residents, workers and visitors.
Suburbs within the electorate include Coodanup, Dudley Park, Greenfields, Mandurah, Meadow Springs, Parklands, San Remo and Silver Sands.
