About Two Rocks

Two Rocks is a coastal urban locality approximately 60 kilometres north of Perth CBD, located within the City of Wanneroo in Perth's fast-growing northern corridor. With a population of 3,822 (up from 2,990 in 2016), the suburb has seen significant growth as families and first-home buyers are attracted by its relative affordability and coastal lifestyle. The median household income of $1,526 per week is moderate, and housing is predominantly low-density detached homes on newer estates, reflecting the suburb's character as a developing outer-suburban area.

Two Rocks sits adjacent to the Indian Ocean coastline, offering residents access to beaches and the Two Rocks Marina, a local hub for recreational fishing and boating. The Yanchep National Park and the nearby township of Yanchep provide additional recreation options and local services. The suburb is served by the Joondalup Line from Yanchep Station (approximately 8 kilometres south), providing a rail connection to Perth CBD, while local Transperth bus routes link residents to the station and surrounding areas.

Two Rocks falls under postcode 6037 and is governed by Wanneroo Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Butler electorate.
