It covers the metropolitan Perth city of Joondalup in its entirety, as well as the town centres of Hillarys and Warwick. The City covers an area of {{convert|98.9|km2|sqmi|1}} from Kinross in the north, to Warwick in the south, with a population of almost 155,000 at the 2016 Census. At the 2001 census, 18% of the population were born in the United Kingdom, while the area was also home to significant Italian, Polish, Macedonian, Chinese and Malaysian minorities. GeographyThe City is bounded by Beach Road to the south, Wanneroo Road and Lake Joondalup to the east, Tamala Park to the north and the Indian Ocean to the west. HistoryPrior to the 1970s, the region now known as the City of Joondalup was sparsely populated. During the 1980s and 1990s, massive growth occurred, partly due to State Government policies which made Joondalup a regional centre, including the extension of the Mitchell Freeway and the construction of the Joondalup railway line. Until 1998, the area had been controlled by the City of Wanneroo and its predecessors. An independent commission suggested the creation of Joondalup out of the coastal areas of Wanneroo, and the City of Joondalup came into existence on 1 July 1998. Mayors
2003–2004 Council controversy{{Refimprove|section|date=September 2016}}Joondalup City's elected Council (including the Mayor) was suspended by Tom Stephens, the Minister for Local Government, on 5 December 2003 after receiving complaints indicating that the Council had become dysfunctional. The Council was replaced by five Commissioners; Chairman John Paterson (former Mayor of Nedlands), Peter Clough, Michael Anderson, Anne Fox and Steve Smith. The Council's power was temporarily transferred to the Commissioners, for a period envisioned to last until the Local Government elections in May 2005 (as it turned out, the next elections were in fact held in May 2006, under Section 4.14 of the Local Government Act 1995 {{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}). A subsequent inquiry, referred to as the McIntyre Inquiry after its chairman Greg McIntyre, revealed in October 2005 that the Council had effectively split into two opposing groups over a controversy surrounding the qualifications of the city's chief executive officer (CEO). The CEO in question, Denis Smith, was accused of misrepresenting his educational qualifications by Deputy Mayor Don Carlos. Don Carlos demanded Denis Smith's immediate dismissal, but his motion was unsuccessful. The councillors opposed to Denis Smith's dismissal expressed the view that the CEO should not be dismissed as his performance was satisfactory. Instead, the council passed a motion forbidding Don Carlos from publicly criticising Denis Smith. Don Carlos subsequently became Mayor of Joondalup at the next election. Wards and suburbsThe suburbs of the City of Joondalup are grouped into six wards, each represented by two councillors:
