Craigie is located in the northern suburbs of the Perth metropolitan area. Craigie was chosen as a suburb name in 1970 and honours an early councillor of the City of Wanneroo who did much work in developing the City. Craigie is one of the four "Whitfords" suburbs that resulted from the State Government rezoning a large area of coastal land for development in 1969.
The suburb once had a senior high school, Craigie Senior High School, which was opened in 1976 only to be closed again in 2003 following a decline in student enrolments. Students from Craigie now must enrol at either Padbury Senior High School or Belridge Senior High School[2].
The City of Joondalup gave consent for advertising the Craigie Structure for public comment for a 28 day period commencing 3 February and which closed 3 March 2011.
