About Mandurah

Mandurah

Where canals make up most of the city streets and a cosmopolitan lifestyle is dotted with culture, history and limitless activities, your day is as strenuous or relaxing as you make it here. Stop in one of the many cafes and restaurants which line the famous foreshore or just stroll around the national parks and wineries to work off your indulgence from that great little pastry shop you found last night. Mandurah is located less than an hour’s drive south of Perth and is perched on the coast overlooking the magnificent Indian Ocean. In the past 15 years, Mandurah has grown from a small coastal town on the way to Western Australia’s vast South West into a vibrant and cosmopolitan city with over 60,000 lucky residents calling it home. Yet, despite this enormous increase in population, which has resulted in the city being hailed as the fastest growing regional city in Australia, Mandurah has still managed to retain its relaxed, holiday atmosphere that has drawn visitors here from the beginning.

The Peel Region covers an area of 5,600 square kilometres and extends from 35 to 145 kilometres south of Perth. It is home to 130 square kilometres of estuary and inland waterways, including a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention. The Region's western boundary is 50 kilometres of Indian ocean coastline.
