About Jandabup

Jandabup is a lightly populated suburban locality in Perth's northern corridor, situated within the City of Wanneroo approximately 28 kilometres north of the Perth CBD. Covering around 18 square kilometres, the locality takes its name from the nearby Jandabup Lake — now managed as a nature reserve on the Swan Coastal Plain — and retains a predominantly semi-rural character with low-density residential properties and open spaces. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 291, reflecting the locality's early-stage development compared to its rapidly growing neighbours.

Jandabup sits within one of Perth's fastest-growing corridors, bordered by established suburbs including Wanneroo to the west and the expanding communities of Mariginiup and Tapping to the north. The Jandabup Lake Nature Reserve provides habitat for wetland birds and offers a rare bushland retreat within the urban fringe. Residents access shopping, schools, and services in Wanneroo (approximately 4 km west) and the Joondalup regional centre (around 10 km south-west), which hosts a major shopping mall, hospital, and train station on the Joondalup Line.

Jandabup falls under postcode 6065 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wanneroo (North Metropolitan) electorate.
