Welcome to the City of Mandurah!
It's true to say that Mandurah is one of the most thriving regional cities in Australia.

In the past 15 years, Mandurah has grown from a Shire with a population of 12,700 to a City of over 60,000. This is predicted to rise to 85,000 by 2016.

Part of the economic growth of Mandurah, is clearly a result of the success local businesspeople have had in establishing their region as the number one day-tripper destination in Western Australia. Almost two million people each year now make the daily return journey to the region and half a million more stay overnight. 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, word-class marina is rapidly expanding and offers unequalled boating facilities. It will soon allow people to venture out to 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 eagerly awaited rail project has begun construction in the Perth CBD and services to and from Mandurah are expected to commence in 2006.

Further development in the region, has seen Alcoa’s $550 million upgrade of its refinery facilities, which demonstrative of a solid and diverse base on which the region’s economic wealth is founded.
