Yanchep, Administrative division in Western Australia
Yanchep extends along the coast, 56 kilometers north of Perth, encompassing urban centers, natural reserves, and wetlands within the City of Wanneroo jurisdiction.
The region gained prominence in the 1970s when entrepreneur Alan Bond purchased 8,100 hectares to establish Yanchep Sun City, planning for a population of 200,000 residents.
The name originates from the Noongar word Yandjip, referring to the bulrush reeds that grow abundantly in the local wetland areas.
The suburb maintains four educational institutions, multiple shopping facilities, and received enhanced connectivity through a railway extension completed in July 2024.
The December 2019 fire in Yanchep affected 14,000 hectares of land, yet emergency services successfully protected 6,000 homes from destruction.
