About Jindalee

Jindalee is a coastal outer-northern suburb of Perth, located approximately 50 kilometres north of Perth CBD within the City of Wanneroo. Part of the Yanchep–Two Rocks growth corridor, the suburb has more than doubled in population since 2016 — rising from 2,519 to 4,044 — as new residential estates have been developed along the Indian Ocean shoreline. The community skews toward families and established working households, with a median age of 36 and a median household income of ,685 per week, reflecting the area's appeal to aspirational homeowners drawn by affordable beachside living.

Jindalee sits adjacent to the Indian Ocean, with several coastal access points and beaches popular with local families and surf enthusiasts. The suburb is served by the Yanchep rail extension (Joondalup Line), which opened in 2024 and dramatically improved CBD access for residents. Everyday amenities are available at nearby Yanchep Central, while the broader corridor benefits from new schools and expanding infrastructure. The neighbourhood draws a high proportion of British and South African-born residents, giving it a distinctly Anglo-African community character, and its peaceful, low-density streetscape is typical of Perth's newer northern growth suburbs.

Jindalee falls under postcode 6036 and is governed by Wanneroo Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Butler electorate.
