About Nowergup
Nowergup is a rural locality situated approximately 40 kilometres north of Perth in the City of Wanneroo, Western Australia. With a 2021 Census population of 189, the area covers around 40 square kilometres of semi-rural bushland and farmland on Perth's outer northern fringe. Its name derives from Lake Nowergup — a Noongar word first recorded in 1841 by Surveyor General John Septimus Roe, thought to mean 'place of sweet water'.
The locality is characterised by sprawling rural lots, natural bushland, and the serene Lake Nowergup, which is valued for birdwatching and as a local wetland. Residents enjoy a tranquil lifestyle away from urban Perth, while being within reasonable distance of the growing coastal suburb of Butler and its Transperth rail station. The Mitchell Freeway forms the locality's western boundary, providing relatively direct access to the Perth CBD. Nowergup appeals to those seeking space, privacy, and a bush-retreat atmosphere on Perth's northern outskirts.
Nowergup falls under postcode 6032 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wanneroo (North Metropolitan) electorate.
