Image of Nollamara residents

The local community describes Nollamara as affordable, multicultural and peaceful 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 Nollamara’s neighbourhood and helps the City rethink how we deliver services with a local focus.

A significant landmark in Nollamara is the water tower which is located next to Mount Yokine reservoir.

What it means to be 'a local'

Local issues

Local focus

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 are looking for ways to get involved in your local area, please contact one of the City’s Local Engagement Officers by emailing getinvolved@stirling.wa.gov.au.

Residential development

Residential development in Nollamara is generally characterised by single detached dwellings on small- to medium-sized lots. Construction styles vary from timber-framed character houses dating from the 1950s to modern brick and tile dwellings.

Property values in Nollamara have been on the increase for some years now, and redevelopment is occurring with many of the older homes being replaced by units and duplex developments. This has resulted in the reduced dominance of Department for Housing and Works properties.

Nollamara contains 16 local open spaces, two community open spaces and one district open space.
