Geography
Outer north of Perth. The entire seat lies on the eastern side of Wanneroo Road, including the suburbs of Darch, Girrawheen, Gnangara, Jandabup, Lansdale, Madeley and part of Marangaroo. The seat is contained in the southern end of the City of Wanneroo.
Redistribution
Landsdale expanded north to take in Gnangara and Jandabup from Wanneroo. Landsdale also exchanged territory with Mirrabooka (renamed Girrawheen), losing Alexander Heights and gaining part of Marangaroo.
History
The seat of Landsdale was created in 2021, primarily replacing Girrawheen. The seat of Girrawheen was resurrected for the 2025 election replacing the neighbouring seat of Mirrabooka.
The original Girrawheen was created at the 1996 election as a safe Labor seat in northern Perth.
The seat was first won by Ted Cunningham, who had held other seats for Labor since 1988.
After one term, the seat was won in 2001 by Margaret Quirk. She was appointed to the ministry after the 2005 election and has served as a shadow minister since the 2008 election.
The ALP’s margin was 12.6% at the first election in 1996, which increased at the 2001 and 2005 elections to a peak of 23.4%. The seat’s margin fell back to a reasonably safe 11.5% margin in 2008. The next redistribution made the seat less safe for Labor, and Quirk held on by a slim 2.4% margin in 2013. She significantly increased her margin in 2017 thanks to a swing of 14%.
Quirk ran for the newly-named seat of Landsdale in 2021, and was re-elected with ease.

Assessment
Landsdale is the kind of seat that could be critical if the election is close. The seat is Labor’s 26th-safest seat, so would probably only fall if Labor was decisively pushed out of power, but it is not amongst the safest of Labor’s seats.
