About Kinross
Kinross is a well-established residential suburb in the City of Joondalup, located approximately 25 kilometres north of the Perth CBD on the Wanneroo Plateau. With a population of 6,988 and a median age of 38, the suburb has a mature, family-oriented character shaped by its development in the 1990s. Household incomes are comfortably above the state average, and the strong owner-occupier base reflects Kinross's appeal as a settled, low-density suburban community. The ancestry profile is predominantly Anglo-Celtic, with a notable proportion of residents born in England and South Africa giving the area a diverse international flavour.
Kinross is well positioned for families, with easy access to Joondalup City Centre — one of Perth's major regional hubs — offering extensive retail, hospitality, and services just minutes away. The Indian Ocean coastline and beaches such as Burns Beach and Mindarie are within a short drive, providing a coastal lifestyle edge that defines the northern corridor. Local schools, parks, and cycling paths are plentiful throughout the suburb, and the Joondalup train line connects residents directly to the Perth CBD. Its quiet, spacious streets and strong community feel continue to make Kinross a popular choice for families and professionals.
Kinross falls under postcode 6028 and is governed by Joondalup Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Mindarie electorate.
