Its local government area is the City of Wanneroo. HistoryThe suburb of Pinjar is named after the large swampy lake of this name located north east of Wanneroo. The lake name is shown on government plans from 1868, and the name is of Noongar Aboriginal origin. The meaning of Pinjar is unknown, but could be "tadpole" or "swampy lake".[1] GeographyPinjar is bounded by Pinjar Road/Old Yanchep Road to the west and Neaves Road to the south. Its northern and eastern boundaries are not gazetted.[2] FacilitiesPinjar is a sparsely populated agricultural suburb, most of which is pine plantation and wetland. At the ABS 2006 census, Pinjar had a population of 78 people living in 39 dwellings.[3] It was not measured in 2011. MotorsportPinjar is home to the Barbagallo Raceway, a 2.411 km (1.498 mi) road racing circuit. Barbagallo, which opened in 1969, is the home of motor racing in Western Australia and hosts an annual round of the V8 Supercars championship. Pinjar is also home to the Pinjar Park Speedway which opened in 2005. Pinjar Park is a {{convert|142|m|yd}} Motorcycle speedway which regularly hosts national and international meetings and caters to both senior and junior solo and sidecar racing. Pinjar Park is considered small for a speedway in Australia, with most tracks around the country ranging from {{convert|350|m|yd}} to {{convert|600|m|yd}} in length. For the bikes, the speedway replaced the old {{convert|550|m|yd}} Claremont Speedway which had run from 1927 until 2000, and the Bibra Lake Speedway which closed in 2004.
