Tapping is another brand new development in its infancy. Next door to, and sharing facilities with, Carramar it is hard to see where one ends and the next begins. A 10 minute drive will take you to Lakeside shopping centre in Joondalup, Joondalup railway station and the other facilities of Joondalup town centre. An extra couple of minutes will see you dipping your toes in the Indian Ocean at Burns Beach, and a 27km drive down Wanneroo Rd will take you to the heart of Perth. There is a park for the children but for everything else you will have to go to Joondalup or Wanneroo.

The nearest public primary school is in Carramar (5 mins), or private (primary & high) school at St Stephens in Tapping itself (see photos below). St Stephens is a very popular school and it’s not unusual to find that families have moved to the area just to get their children into the school. The nearest public high school is Wanneroo (10 mins).

The latest land release has seen prospective buyers camping out in the car park of the land sales office.
