About Heathridge

Heathridge is a northern suburb of Perth, located approximately 25 kilometres north of the CBD within the City of Joondalup local government area. With a population of around 6,900 and a median age of 36, the suburb skews younger than the Perth average and attracts a mix of young families and couples. The median household income of $1,782 per week and median mortgage repayment of $1,734 per month reflect a solidly middle-income community in one of Perth's established northern growth corridors.

Heathridge offers a relaxed suburban lifestyle with access to local parks, schools, and the broader Joondalup activity centre, which provides major retail, medical, and transport services including the Joondalup train station on the northern rail line. The suburb is predominantly English and Australian in ancestry, giving it a quintessentially modern west Australian character. Families and professionals are drawn to the area for its relative affordability compared to inner-northern suburbs, good schooling options, and easy freeway access into the city.

Heathridge falls under postcode 6027 and is governed by Joondalup Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Joondalup electorate.
