Karrinyup

The local community describes Karrinyup as a beautiful, clean and safe  neighbourhood. To better understand what is means to be ‘a local’ our suburb profile seeks to understand the local stories Koora (past), Yeyi (present), Boordawan (future) and respond to Ngalang Maya (our place). This snapshot identifies the unique character of Karrinyup’s neighbourhood and helps the City rethink how we deliver services with a local focus. 

Karrinyup is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning 'the place where bush kangaroos graze'. Rapid growth began in 1957 and most of the houses are relatively modern.

Local focus

These are the top local priorities you've told us about what's important for Karrinyup: 

  • Parking - "Better traffic and parking management."

  • Cat and Dog management - "Dog owners better educated to pick up their dog's excrement."

  • Trees and greening - "More plants and nature."

  • Road and traffic management - "Improve flow of traffic along Karrinyup road - on and off freeway during Karrinyup shops opening hours."

  • Parking - "Street parking."

The City has created Locally-led Stirling to drive deeper connection at a local suburb level to listen and respond with a local focus.  At the heart of this Locally-led approach is an understanding that local people know what they need and a vision for everyone to get involved in shaping what it means to be “a local”.

We want to bring neighbours together, invest in local stories and inspire opportunities to work together. To find out more about Locally-led Stirling, visit Shaping our City.  If you're looking for ways to get involved in your local area, please contact one of the City’s Community Engagement Officers by emailing getinvolved@stirling.wa.gov.au.

Local Q&A

What question do you have about how we deliver services in your area?  To participate in your local Q&A submit a question here and responses to FAQs will be shared below.

My bin has not been collected, what should I do?
If your bin isn’t emptied as scheduled, please lodge a residential bin request here. Please note, we can only lodge a request for a missed bin after 4.00pm on the day of your scheduled collection. This ensures that we allow enough time for our drivers to complete their collections.

How do I make an on-demand waste collection booking?
The City has a range of on-demand collection services. Residents can access these services once every financial year (1 July - 30 June). These services can be booked through the online form here.

How can I view and receive my Rates Notices?
As a property owner you can view current and past rates notices by logging into your Property Owner Portal account here. Within the portal you will also be able to opt to receive your rates notices via email instead of physical mail.

How do I submit a CoS park or facility maintenance request?
Please complete this form to request maintenance on City of Stirling owned infrastructure such as buildings and facilities, parks, reserves and natural areas, roads and paths.  

How do I report a personal or neighbourhood safety concern?
You can refer to the following page to find out who to call in case of an emergency. The City of Stirling aims to provide a strong sense of safety in our community by working with the Police, residents, community organisations and other key partners. Our joint approach to community safety and crime prevention guides the City’s safety initiatives and helps create a safer City.

Local plans

Residential development

Rapid growth in Karrinyup did not begin until 1957, when the 1904 subdivision was redesigned to allow extensive residential development. The dominant forms of dwellings in Karrinyup are single detached residences. The western sector of the suburb also contains a substantial number of duplex and unit developments.

Most of the houses in Karrinyup are relatively modern, though the prolonged period of development has resulted in a range of styles from various eras. Many of the homes within the suburb are of 2 storeys and the vast majority are of brick-and-tile construction.

Public open space and community infrastructure

The Lake Karrinyup Country Club is located to the northeast of the suburb, while the City's Hamersley Golf Course is situated on the western border of Karrinyup. Karrinyup's total public open space amounts to 50ha and includes 27 local open spaces, two community open spaces and three district open spaces which offer additional active and passive recreational facilities.

Karrinyup contains several public and private primary schools, as well as Saint Mary's Anglican Girls' School. The local population is also provided with a community centre and library.

The Karrinyup Shopping Centre provides the commercial focus for the suburb and contains a wide range of retail services. The area also hosts many parks and reserves, including both public and private golf courses. Watch Destination WAs Stirling Staycation episode here.
