Overview

Yakamia is an inner suburb of Albany that sprang up in the 1970s and was officially gazetted in 1979. Its name, thought to be a Noongar word meaning “sister to a small creek,” reflects the presence of Yakamia Creek, which winds through the area. Bounded by North Road, Chester Pass Road, Hudson and Bond Roads and Ulster Road, the suburb enjoys easy access to the city’s main thoroughfares, making commuting straightforward.

Originally dominated by bushland, Yakamia now features a growing mix of new housing developments alongside established homes. Families are drawn to the local Yakamia Primary School, opened in 1970 and serving about 620 students, and to the small North Road shopping centre that provides everyday amenities. The suburb also hosts the City of Albany’s council offices, adding a civic hub to its residential character.
