Lake Goollelal lies in the eastern part of the suburb, parallel to Wanneroo Road.

The name was chosen for the historical association with the first owner of land in the area, William Kernot Shenton.

[3] In 1844 Methodist missionary Rev John Smithes established Mission Farm near Lake Goollelal.

[4] Businessman Ezio Luisini purchased 20 acres (8.1 hectares) of land near Lake Goollelal on which he established a winery in 1924.

It was once one of the largest wineries in the southern hemisphere[5] and operated from 1929 until 1986 when it was closed and the land redeveloped into suburban lots by Ernie Mondello.
