Mandurah - your natural choice for lifestyle, business and holiday experiences. Approximately 74kms south of Perth, Mandurah is blessed with a unique blend of coast, bushland, industry and inner-city living. A tourist's paradise, Mandurah is also the capital of the Peel region and considered the gateway to the South West. In the past 15 years, Mandurah has grown from a Shire with a population of 12,700 to a City of 69,540. This is predicted to rise to 85,000 by 2016. Yet, despite the enormous growth in population, the City has retained its relaxed, holiday atmosphere. The City of Mandurah boasts the finest waterways in Australia, with everything from fishing, crabbing, swimming, recreational cruising and waterskiing on offer for enthusiasts.

Creative planning - including a number of residential canal developments with boat access to the Peel Inlet - demonstrates just how Mandurah retains its uniqueness compared to other cities. The cosmopolitan, world-class marina is rapidly expanding and offers unequalled boating facilities. Enjoy a vibrant mix of waterfront restaurants, boutique shops and stylish apartment living.

A rich arts and festival culture has also become a unique feature of Mandurah, with many annual events, including the Channel Seven Crab Fest, Mandurah Ocean Marina Boat and Fishing Show, Stretch Arts and Community Festival and Mandurah International Opera Festival attracting tens of thousands of visitors. A variety of transportation options are available to explore Mandurah, with an improved local bus service offering low cost travel around the city centre. The new rail project has made travelling to or working in Perth a viable option giving commuters a chance to escape the hustle of the city for Mandurah's relaxing holiday lifestyle.

Catching a bus to your closest train station instead of driving will mean you won’t have to try and find a car parking bay when you get there.
