Connolly is a well-established suburb located in the northern part of Perth, Western Australia. Situated approximately 25 kilometers northwest of the Perth central business district, Connolly falls within the City of Joondalup local government area. The suburb is bordered by the suburbs of Currambine, Heathridge, and Joondalup, and is located adjacent to Marmion Avenue, providing residents with easy access to major arterial roads and the wider Perth metropolitan region. Connolly is also notable for its proximity to beautiful beaches and lush parklands, offering a balance of urban convenience and natural leisure opportunities.

Primarily developed during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Connolly is predominantly a residential suburb characterized by family homes on spacious blocks. The housing stock largely consists of detached single-family dwellings, with some pockets of newer townhouses and villas. The demographic profile of Connolly tends to lean towards established families, professionals, and retirees, with a median age slightly above the Perth average.

More extensive retail and commercial needs are conveniently catered for at the nearby Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City, one of Perth’s largest shopping centres, situated just a short drive away.
