About Nambeelup

Nambeelup gets its name from a nearby waterway called Nambeelup Brook. Most of the land in Nambeelup is used for farming and rural activities. However, there are also some newer areas with homes and businesses. These areas are part of a development called St Davids.

Growing Community

Because the Peel Region is growing quickly, Nambeelup is expected to become an important industrial area for Mandurah. This means more businesses and job opportunities might come to the town in the future.

Murrayfield Airport

Nambeelup is home to Murrayfield Airport. This is a local airport that serves the Mandurah area. It's mainly used for smaller planes and doesn't offer flights for passengers. This is because Mandurah is quite close to Perth Airport, which handles all the big passenger flights.
