Karrinyup, Perth,
Western Australia
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Karrinyup is a suburb of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia, and is located 12 km north of Perth's central business district. Its Local Government Area is the City of Stirling. It is home to one of Perth's largest shopping complexes, Karrinyup Shopping Centre.
The name Karrinyup was originally derived from the word Careniup, an Noongar name for a nearby swamp and apparently means "the place where bush kangaroos graze". In the 1840s, Samuel Moore took up a grant of 780 acres in the northern part of the suburb. Moore's grant, Swan Location 92 was surveyed by P Chauncey in 1844 and Chauncey recorded a large swamp just to the east of Karrinyup as Careniup Swamp. In 1929, the foundation committee developing the Lake Karrinyup Country Club golf course opted to change the spelling.
While the area had been subdivided by Charles Storeman in 1904 and roads built, the country club remained the only significant feature in the area, and rapid growth did not begin until 1957, with the part south of Karrinyup Road developing first. At this stage, the only access to the area from Perth was via Wanneroo Road and Balcatta Beach Road. The building of the Mitchell Freeway to Karrinyup Road in 1983-84 facilitated the growth of Karrinyup and nearby Stirling as a regional hub.
Karrinyup has one of Perth's largest shopping complexes, Karrinyup Shopping Centre, containing a bus station, community centre and library as well as two major department stores. It was built in 1973 and has since been extended to offer 54,587 m² of retail accommodation and significant undercover and open-air parking.
Karrinyup also offers two golf courses, Hamersley and Lake Karrinyup. Open spaces exist at Lake Karrinyup and at the south-west of the suburb. Karrinyup also contains three state primary schools (Karrinyup, Deanmore and Newborough) and an elite private college, St Mary's Anglican Girls School, founded in 1921 at West Perth and relocated to Karrinyup in 1961.
