The road is mostly a single carriageway with one lane in each direction, and commences in the Yanchep National Park near Lake Yonderup.

It was built in the early 1970s to service land owned by the Bond Corporation and became a vital route during the operation of Atlantis Marine Park between 1981 and 1990.

The Wanneroo Road Board in the 1930s endeavoured to improve what was basically a sand track.

It has been in continual use, and currently has a petrol station in front of the heritage listed shop building.

After crossing the proposed alignment of Mitchell Freeway and passing an old general store, it skirts an 18-hole golf course, Sun City Country Club, before intersecting with St Andrews Drive, which provides access to the residential area adjoining the golf course.
