with City status, located in the northern suburbs of Perth
, Western Australia
. It is centred approximately 25 kilometres (15.5 mi) north of Perth's central business district
and forms part of the northern boundary of the Perth metropolitan area.
The City's main commercial and residential town
centres are located at Wanneroo
in the east and Clarkson
in the north. Further urban centres are planned at Alkimos
, Yanchep
and Two Rocks
in the future to coincide with rapid metropolitan expansion and development in the area. It is also home to the Yanchep
and Neerabup
National Parks
, as well as the Neerabup Industrial Estate in the north.
From the City's inception until 1998, it also incorporated the neighbouring City of Joondalup
in its entirety.
The City's 36 suburbs and localities are grouped into the following four electoral wards:
* Part of Woodvale is located within the City of Joondalup
.
and Lake Joondalup
to the south-west, the Indian Ocean to the west and the Shire of Gingin
to the north.
Wanneroo covers a land area totalling 685.8 km², with most of its urban settlements located in the south-east and along the coast, centered around Joondalup. The majority of the City's population is located within these suburbs, with the rest of the land in the north and east being predominantly rural.
With the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, all road boards became Shires effective from 1 July 1961, and the Shire of Wanneroo came into being, encompassing everything north of Beach Road
and west of Alexander Drive. With the development of and subsequent population growth surrounding Joondalup, the Shire of Wanneroo attained City status on 31 October 1985.
On 1 July 1998, on the recommendation of a report by the Local Government Advisory Committee, the City of Wanneroo was bifurcated. The southwestern section, encompassing the urban centre of Joondalup, was separately incorporated as the new City of Joondalup
. The remainder, including the inland suburbs east of Lake Joondalup
and the coastal suburbs north of Burns Beach
, formed a reduced Shire of Wanneroo, which quickly regained City status on 1 July 1999. As this was before the local government elections to elect a mayor and councillors, the second incarnation of the Shire did not have a Shire President.
With only a 58% native Australian population, Wanneroo has a large immigrant populace. Over 15% of Wanneroo's residents were born in the United Kingdom
, compared to 4.3% nationwide. New Zealanders
, Vietnamese
and South Africans
compose the City's most significant minority populations.

, is proposed to be extended from Burns Beach Road through to Toreopango Avenue and beyond.
The City of Wanneroo currently has only one railway station in Clarkson
. As a result of the Public Transport Plan for Perth 2031, the Clarkson rail line is proposed to be extended north to Yanchep with stations at Butler
, Alkimos
, Eglinton
, and Yanchep.
Elections are held every four years, for a Mayor and 14 Councillors across the City's four electoral wards. In 2011, five councillors were elected for the densely-populated and urbanized South Ward, compared to four for the Coastal Ward, three for the Central Ward and only two for the North Ward.
