About Ballaying
Ballaying is a remote rural locality in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, located in the Shire of Kondinin. Sitting within the WA Wheatbelt at a latitude of approximately 33°S, the locality spans over 166 square kilometres of agricultural land. The 2021 census recorded a population of just 33 people, reflecting its character as a farming district rather than a township. The closest regional centres are Kondinin to the north-east and Lake Grace to the south.
Life in Ballaying revolves around dryland cereal farming and sheep grazing, typical of the Western Australian Wheatbelt. There are no township facilities within the locality itself; residents rely on Kondinin (~40 km) for schooling, basic shopping and community services, and Narrogin or Merredin for broader needs. The landscape is characterised by flat to gently undulating farmland, salt lakes and remnant mallee scrub. It attracts farming families and those seeking large-scale landholdings in a quiet, agricultural setting.
Ballaying falls under postcode 6315 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Roe (Agricultural) electorate.
