Local services are the 467 and 468 bus routes which connect buses to trains and operates between Whitfords Station and Joondalup Station. Route 467 serves smaller streets and passes nearby to the 389 terminus on Belgrade Road, as well as the Wanneroo Town Centre (where selected services terminate) and Wanneroo Secondary College. Route 468 is a much faster service, passing straight through Wanneroo along Wanneroo Road. All three of these bus services deviate to the Wanneroo Secondary College at school start and end hours. There are no bus services serving the housing areas to the west side of Wanneroo Road. In the northern part of the suburb near the Wanneroo Botanical Gardens, routes 390 and 391 also operate, with a transfer stop located on Joondalup Drive near the intersection of Joondalup Drive and Wanneroo Road, which contains an overpass.
