OVERVIEW OF THE AREA

Wannanup (also known as Port Bouvard, Avalon and Florida) is a residential 
suburb  in Western Australia, located 12 kilometres southwest of Mandurah and 87 kilometres south-southwest of the state capital, Perth. It is surrounded on three sides by water — the Indian Ocean
 to the west, the Harvey Estuary to the east and the Dawesville Channelto the south — and is home to the Port Bouvard development. It is one of four suburbs which lie on an island created by the building of the Dawesville Channel.

Wannanup is the original Aboriginal name for the suburb known as Florida. However, upon the development of the Dawesville Channel, the suburb was split in half. The southern section was placed in Dawesville while the northern section was regazetted as Wannanup in 1996.

The 21st Century has seen the landscape of Wannanup transformed with the development of Port Bouvard transforming the community from that of a sleepy fishing settlement to a commuter suburb and holiday destination. The Northport estate to the suburb's west lies close to Avalon and Village beaches and consists of modern townhouses based around a small shopping centre surrounded by a network of canals and modern mansions. Meanwhile, the Eastport estate is home to the Port Bouvard Marina, which is a popular area for activities such as boating and fishing.

Wannanup is a great stop for a relaxing break from the city and a half-way point to Bunbury. Located in the heart of the estuary, Dawesville Channel and the ocean makes it a top location for boating, fishing, crabbing and beach going.
