Girrawheen
Girrawheen is a suburb in the City of Wanneroo, which plans it together with neighbouring Koondoola under the Girrawheen Koondoola Local Area Plan. Landgate records that its development began in 1970, and the City’s timeline records the opening of the first high school in Girrawheen in 1974.
The housing
At the 2021 Census Girrawheen had 3,676 private dwellings, and 76.8 per cent of occupied dwellings were separate houses, 22.4 per cent semi-detached, row or terrace houses or townhouses, and 0.5 per cent flats or apartments.
Community facilities
The Girrawheen Hub on Patrick Court brings together Girrawheen Library at 6 Patrick Court, the Girrawheen Koondoola Community Centre and a community garden. The library opens Monday to Friday from 9am to 5.30pm and on Saturday mornings.
Getting around
Route 374 runs through Girrawheen between Mirrabooka Bus Station and Whitfords Station, with an afternoon school trip from Girrawheen Senior High School. Girrawheen Senior High School also lists route 386, which runs to Perth Busport and to Kingsway City Shopping Centre, among the services its students use.
Education
Girrawheen Senior High School, at 39 Calvert Way, takes students from Year 7 and offers ATAR and vocational pathways. Hudson Park Primary School is at 23 Arnos Way.
What is coming
The City of Wanneroo plans to redevelop the Girrawheen Hub at 13 Patrick Court into a multi-purpose centre with a redesigned library and community centre, an upgraded garden and better access. The City puts the cost at about $30 million, has committed $9.5 million and is seeking State and Federal funding for the rest. Council resolved to go to tender in March 2026, and the tender results are expected to go to Council in October 2026, with any award depending on funds in the 2026/27 budget. The City’s page gives completion dates ranging from June 2027 to late 2028.
