Western Australia . It was built in 1969 to service the Shire of Wanneroo parts of the Hamersley Development Scheme, which was later split into the suburbs of Duncraig, Warwick and Greenwood. Its original alignment, which was gazetted in 1949 as Road No. 10578 by the Wanneroo Road Board, [Gazette WA | title = Road Districts Act 1919-48 - Wanneroo Road Board | file = 955/48 | page = 1949:2261 | date =9 September 1949 ] was a straight east-west road extending to Alexander Drive, but in the mid 1970s, the alignment was altered southwards in the vicinity of the freeway alignment (theMitchell Freeway was not, however, built until 1986), and in the late 1970s, the section east ofWanneroo Road was split off to form Marangaroo Drive.Apart from the Glengarry and Greenwood neighbourhood shopping centres, Warwick Road also passes Warwick Open Space east of Erindale Road and the Percy Doyle Reserve, which includes sports and recreation facilities and the Duncraig Library, near
Marmion Avenue .Major Intersections
