Noranda
Noranda is a north-eastern suburb of Perth in the City of Bayswater. The Shire of Bayswater planned it in the early 1970s and built it in stages from 1976 to the mid 1980s, and since December 2024 it has had its own station on the Ellenbrook Line.
The housing
Most of Noranda’s housing dates from the staged development between 1976 and the mid 1980s. At the 2021 Census there were 3,206 private dwellings: 82.5 per cent of occupied dwellings were separate houses, 16.8 per cent were semi-detached, row or terrace houses or townhouses, and 0.7 per cent were flats or apartments.
Shops and cafes
Hawaiian’s Noranda, at Benara Road and McGilvray Avenue, has both a Coles and a Woolworths. The City of Bayswater treats the area as one of its four major town centres, alongside Bayswater, Maylands and Morley, and has a place plan setting out community priorities for it.
Parks and open space
Lightning Swamp Bushland covers 71.3 hectares of bushland, damp land and wetland and is the largest bushland reserve in the City. It is a Bush Forever site, bordered by Tonkin and Reid Highways to the north, Della Road to the east and Malaga Drive to the west, with its entry from Mathews Close and 3.6 kilometres of limestone track and a boardwalk beside the eastern wetland. Lightning Park at 30 Della Road has two full-size football ovals used for Australian rules, gridiron and tee-ball, and in 2025 the City completed a $735,000 upgrade of the spectator area. Noranda Sporting Complex at 75 McGilvray Avenue has netball and tennis courts, bowling greens, soccer fields and a grass athletics track, and Robert Thompson Park is near the town centre.
Getting around
Noranda Station opened with the Ellenbrook Line on 8 December 2024. It sits beside Tonkin Highway at Benara Road, has 400 parking bays, and the State Government gives the trip to the Perth CBD as 18 minutes. Bus route 350 runs between Mirrabooka Bus Station and Caversham along Benara Road, stopping at the station.
