Joondalup Drive

Joondalup Drive is a major distributor road in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia.

The road cuts through the City of Joondalup's central business district and extends for a few kilometres east through neighbouring residential suburbs in the City of Wanneroo. The road was extended in 2005 to the northern suburb of Banksia Grove to provide easy access for residents to Joondalup's city centre, and to provide a complete connecting route to the Brand Highway from the Mitchell Freeway.

The route from Ocean Reef Road to Burns Beach Road was gazetted as Road No. 10951 by the Shire of Wanneroo in 1953. It is allocated State Route 85 for its entire length, connecting with Neaves Road into Bullsbrook and the City of Swan.

Joondalup Drive was originally known as Osborne Drive, but was renamed in the late 1960s.

Famous quotes containing the word drive:

    To drive Paul out of any lumber camp
    All that was needed was to say to him,
    “How is the wife, Paul?” and he’d disappear.
