Mandurah Road Length 41 km (25 mi) Direction North-South From Rockingham Road, Kwinana Beach Major suburbs Baldivis, Karnup, Meadow Springs, Mandurah To Old Coast Road, Halls Head Major junctions Dixon Road/Gilmore Avenue, Safety Bay Road, Ennis Avenue, Dampier Drive, Mandjoogoordap Drive, Pinjarra Road Mandurah Road is the name given to two roads in the cities of Perth and Mandurah, Western Australia, which link together at Stakehill Road, Karnup.
- The northern part starts in the Kwinana Beach industrial area. After 2 km and reaching the City of Rockingham boundary, it becomes a semi-rural single carriageway road which runs past wetlands east of Rockingham such as Lake Cooloongup and Lake Walyungup. It also provides access to the residential and rural-residential sections of the suburb of Baldivis.
- The southern part starts at Stakehill Road and is a dual carriageway and part of National Highway 1. It is actually a continuation of Ennis Avenue coming from Rockingham. It continues to Mandurah, where it intersects with Mandjoogoordap Drive at a roundabout before crossing Pinjarra Road and heading west to meet Old Coast Road which is the main road to Bunbury and South West of Western Australia.
Until 2005, the road changed name at the City of Mandurah boundary line (between Singleton and Madora Bay) to "Fremantle Road", but this was changed by a decision of the City of Mandurah in September 2005[1][2]. This change has been recognised by the Government in the 2007 Streetsmart street directory.
