The Electoral district of Ocean Reef is a Legislative Assembly electorate in the state of Western Australia. The district is named for the outer northern Perth suburb of Ocean Reef which falls within its borders.

History

Ocean Reef was created at the 2007 redistribution out of most of the Mindarie electorate and parts of Joondalup and Hillarys. Its creation reflected both the growth of the City of Wanneroo region which now required three full electorates (Wanneroo, Mindarie and Girrawheen), and the increase in the number of metropolitan seats in accordance with the new one vote one value legislation.

Geography

Ocean Reef extends from the Wanneroo-Joondalup coastal boundary southwards, taking in the suburbs of Burns Beach, Iluka, Kallaroo, Kinross, Mullaloo, Ocean Reef and most of Currambine.
