Joondalup, Western Australia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Joondalup ( 31°44′42″S, 115°45′57″E; post code: 6027) is a northern suburb and regional city in Perth, Western Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Joondalup, Western Australia. History The suburb is named after Lake Joondalup, on the banks of which the suburb resides. The name Joondalup is a Noongar Aboriginal word, first recorded in 1837 and possibly meaning either "place of whiteness or glistening", or "place of a creature that can only move backwards".[3] During the latter part of the 1960's, the Metropolitan Regional Planning Authority developed the Corridor Plan for Perth which was published and adopted in 1970.[4] The plan called for the creation of five 'sub-regional' retail centres (Fremantle, Joondalup, Midland, Armadale and Rockingham) which would form the commercial and economic focus of each 'node', and take the retail burden away from the CBD.[5] The Corridor Plan was not ensorsed by Parliament until 1973.[6][7] In order to grow both the five 'sub-regional' retail centres and these off-corridor regional shopping centres, a Retail Shopping Policy was developed by MRPA in 1976, and a Perth Metropolitan Region Retail Structure Plan was put in place to regulate the industry. This Plan was amended as new centres were required.[6] A review of the Corridor Plan in 1987 found that the sub-regional centres had failed to adequately compete against the regional shopping centres in the middle-distance suburbs.[6] The majority of land in the area remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, and Joondalup started to become the "city of the north" towards the late 1980's to the early 1990's when many houses and businesses started to become established in the area. Joondalup is bounded by Burns Beach Road to the north, the proposed Mitchell Freeway to the west, Eddystone and Lakeside Drives to the south and Lake Joondalup to the east. Grand Boulevard and Joondalup Drive run through the centre of Joondalup.

Way cool - I went to Edith Cowan right from the beginning doing psychology under John Carrol. As 1st year students we were actually involved in the social impact research done for the Wanneroo city council to decide the development of Joondalup. Darn it, I shoulda stayed and invested in the area.. Thankyou Mate
