About Woodridge
Woodridge is a small rural town and residential estate located approximately 75 kilometres north-northwest of the Perth CBD, situated on the western side of Indian Ocean Drive near the scenic Moore River. The locality falls within the Shire of Gingin and covers an area of about 17 square kilometres at an elevation of 45 metres above sea level. With a population of around 639 residents, Woodridge is separated from Perth's northern suburbs by a 13-kilometre stretch of Wilbinga State Forest, giving it a distinct sense of rural remoteness despite its relative proximity to the city.
Woodridge appeals to those seeking a relaxed semi-rural lifestyle, with many residents choosing the area for its large lots, natural surrounds, and connection to the nearby Moore River recreation area. The community is quiet and close-knit, attracting hobby farmers, retirees, and families who value open space and outdoor living. Indian Ocean Drive provides convenient road access to the northern Perth coast and the town of Gingin, while the broader Shire of Gingin offers local services and community facilities.
Woodridge falls under postcode 6041 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Moore (Agricultural) electorate.
