Mandurah Road is two roads which link together at Stakehill Road.
- The northern part starts in Kwinana Beach industrial area. After 2 km and reaching the City of Rockingham boundary, it becomes a semi-rural single carriageway road which runs through wetlands east of Rockingham such as Lake Cooloongup and Lake Walyungup. It also provides access to Baldivis.
- The southern part starts at Stakehill Road and is a dual carriageway and part of National Highway 1. It is actually a continuation of Ennis Avenue coming from Rockingham. It continues to Mandurah, crossing Pinjarra Road and heading west to meet Old Coast Road which is the main road to Bunbury and South West of Western Australia.
Until 2005, the road changed name at the City of Mandurah boundary line (between Singleton and Madora Bay) to "Fremantle Road", but this was changed by a decision of the City of Mandurah in September 2005[1][2]. This change has been recognised by the Government in the 2007 Streetsmart street directory.
