You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Joondalup.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Joondalup breathes with a coastal clarity, a sprawling expanse where the iron-rich earth, a ruddy ochre under the relentless sun, gives way to pockets of heath and banksia woodland. It lies 18.5 km west of Ellenbrook, WA (from Ellenbrook, WA: bearing 280°T), and is situated 10.2 km north of Duncraig. The air, especially in the late afternoon, carries a faint tang of salt from the nearby Indian Ocean, a subtle reminder of its proximity, even as the urban hum of its centre grows louder. The terrain here is generally flat, a gentle rise from the coast inland, punctuated by the occasional low dune and the shimmering surface of its namesake lake, a vital water source that mirrors the vast, pale blue sky. It’s a landscape that feels both ancient and newly fashioned, a place where the raw elements of Western Australia are softened by human endeavour, yet still hold a wild, untamed spirit.
The story of Joondalup is one of rapid transformation, from its origins as a pastoral leasehold to a vibrant hub of modern life. For millennia, the land was stewarded by Indigenous peoples, and remnants of that deep connection to country can still be felt in the whispers of the wind through the native flora. In more recent times, the area developed into a significant agricultural district, with wheat and sheep forming the backbone of its economy, a legacy evident in the occasional weathered farm fence or the distant silhouette of a forgotten shearing shed. Today, Joondalup is a centre for commerce, education, and healthcare, boasting a prominent university campus and a bustling commercial district that draws people from across the northern suburbs, a testament to its strategic growth and the enduring allure of its coastal setting.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Joondalup is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
