About Craigie

Craigie is a suburban locality in Perth's northern corridor, situated within the City of Joondalup local government area approximately 20 kilometres north of the Perth CBD. Home to 6,456 residents across 4.7 square kilometres, the suburb has a notably international character — more than half of residents have at least one parent born overseas, with strong English, Irish, South African, and New Zealand communities. With a median age of 35 and a large proportion of young families and children, Craigie has an energetic, growing feel.

The suburb offers a comfortable suburban lifestyle with easy access to Joondalup City Centre, one of Perth's major regional hubs, just minutes to the north. Residents benefit from proximity to Yellagonga Regional Park, good local schools, and strong public transport links including nearby stations on the Joondalup Line connecting to the Perth CBD. Housing is predominantly detached family homes, and the suburb's relative affordability combined with good amenities continues to attract young families and newcomers building their lives in Western Australia.

Craigie falls under postcode 6025 and is governed by Joondalup Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hillarys electorate.
