Origins and Planning

Carramar was established in the mid-1990s as a subdivision of Neerabup, with the suburb name approved in 1997. The name “Carramar” is recorded as an Aboriginal word meaning “shade of trees”, reflecting the suburb’s greenery and design intent. Carramar is bounded by Flynn Drive, Pinjar Road, Joondalup Drive and Wanneroo Road.

Carramar features a strong native flora and fauna naming theme, with many streets referencing banksias, eucalypts and local wildlife. Around community parks and the golf estate, the suburb layout reinforces a connected neighbourhood feel and a strong sense of place.
