'''Nollamara''' is a suburb of [[Perth]], Western Australia. Its [[Local government areas of Western Australia|local government area]] is the [[City of Stirling]].

The suburb is less than {{cvt|10|km}} away from the [[Perth central business district]] and is approximately {{cvt|11|km}} from [[Trigg, Western Australia|Trigg]] beach. Previously known as a lower income area, Nollamara has gone through a period of [[gentrification]] over the past decade{{timeframe|date=July 2022}}<!--The "past decade" sentence was added in 2014--> that continues on to this day. Older homes are being replaced with new townhomes and there has been a surge in young families and professionals populating the suburb. The area is characterized by extensive trees, parks and recreational facilities. The newly renovated Des Penman Reserve is a good example of this as it includes tennis, soccer, lawn-bowls, playground, shaded lunch areas and BBQ facilities. Parts of Nollamara are elevated, providing views of surrounding neighbourhoods.

Nollamara borders prominent areas such as [[Yokine]] and [[Dianella, Western Australia|Dianella]] that are host to multimillion-dollar homes. A newly developed Flinders Street and [[Wanneroo Road]] provide easy access to [[Leederville]], [[Subiaco, Western Australia|Subiaco]], [[Northbridge, Western Australia|Northbridge]] and the Perth CBD.
