Tapping is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia,
located within the City of Wanneroo. Tapping
came into being in the early 1990s as a subdivision
of Wanneroo, originally as part of the Carramar
estate.

Tapping was chosen as the suburb name in honour
of an early settler family in the Wanneroo area. Mr
William Tapping arrived in 1886 and Molly and
Dolly Tapping were long time Postmistresses in
Wanneroo. The name for the suburb was approved
in 1997.
