Edgewater

Edgewater is about 23 kilometres north of the Perth CBD. Edgewater was approved as a suburb name in 1974 due to its location on the western shores of Lake Joondalup. Its local government area is the City of Joondalup. Edgewater is an established residential area with light industry in the south-west.

Edgewater is bounded by Eddystone Avenue, Joondalup Drive, Lakeside Drive and the suburb of Joondalup in the north, Lake Joondalup in the east, Ocean Reef Road in the south and the Mitchell Freeway in the west.

Edgewater not only sits nestled in Lake Joondalup and a short 5 minutes from Joondalup Central, it is also surrounded by easy access to public transport. Commuting into town for work will take you 25 minutes by car, or simply hop on a train at Edgewater Station and enjoy a 20-minute seamless train ride to the city centre. If you’re looking for a bus ride, Edgewater is serviced by two bus routes from Joondalup Station.

If you like spending time outdoors you won’t be short of options. Edgewater has 11 parks covering nearly 22% of total area! Emerald Park, Picnic Cove Park, Hilltop Park and Wedgewood Park are just a few, but the hero is definitely Yellagonga Regional Park. The entirety of Edgewater’s western border offers over 3km of lakeside frontage onto beautiful lake Joondalup in Yellagonga Regional Park. This large natural reserve is criss-crossed with popular walking trails and studded with tree lined parklands and includes BBQ facilities and playgrounds – perfect for a picnic with the family.

Shoppers are well catered to with convenient local shops like an IGA, green grocer and liquor store. For a bigger shopping expedition, Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City is your destination only 10 minutes’ drive by car.
