Joondalup History
Prior to European settlement Lake Joondalup provided a rich supply
of food as well as inspiration for Nyoongar spiritual and ritual
beliefs and practices
The original inhabitants of the Joondalup area were the Oor-dal-kalla
people, . Joondalup derives its name from these Abororiginals.
The Nyoongar word is Doondalup and it means ‘the lake that
glistens’.
Early Europeen settlement in the area was mostly market gardens,
small farms for animals and vineyards. Roads to the area were
very limited.
In the 70s a plan was forged by the West Australian Government
to make a City in the north that was self sustainable, supported
by public transport such as rail and that had less of an impact
on the environment. Joondalup was the first new town in Australia
to be designed along the three line principle, which planned for
economic, social and environment sustainability.
