About the city
Joondalup, one of the main urban centres in the northern part of Perth's metropolitan area in Western Australia, combines sporting, music and community events with the relaxed atmosphere of a lakeside city. Arena Joondalup is one of the key venues for major sporting competitions, festivals and other events, while the city centre offers restaurants, cafés, shops and accommodation that make planning a stay easier. Thanks to its combination of an organised urban centre and large open spaces, Joondalup is a practical base for visitors who want to combine an event with a short break in the northern part of Perth.
The main public transport hub is Joondalup Station, located on Transperth's Yanchep Line, providing convenient rail connections with Perth and other parts of the metropolitan area. Local travel is further facilitated by Transperth's Joondalup CAT buses, including the Blue CAT, Red CAT and Yellow CAT, which connect the station with important parts of the city centre. Arena Joondalup is approximately one kilometre from the railway station, making it accessible on foot or by local bus. Visitors arriving by air use Perth Airport, where Airport Central and Redcliffe railway stations are connected to the Airport Line network; from central Perth it is possible to continue towards Joondalup on the Yanchep Line.
Before or after an event, it is worth taking a walk through Neil Hawkins Park beside Lake Joondalup and exploring the natural landscape of Yellagonga Regional Park, whose system of lakes, wetlands and walking trails provides a striking contrast to the modern city centre. Joondalup City Centre offers additional opportunities for shopping, dining and a relaxed stroll, while parks and the Indian Ocean coastline can be found across the wider city area. The combination of events, convenient public transport, the lake and natural spaces allows visitors to turn a trip to a concert, festival or sporting event into a complete stay in this part of Western Australia.
