About Boodarie
Boodarie is a vast industrial and rural locality situated immediately south of Port Hedland in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, administered by the Town of Port Hedland Council. Covering approximately 832 square kilometres, it is one of the largest localities by area in the Port Hedland precinct, with a recorded population of 182 residents. The locality is part of the traditional country of the Kariyarra people, who have deep connections to the land and coastline of the Pilbara's west.
Boodarie is closely tied to the resource and logistics industries that drive the Port Hedland economy, including iron ore processing and port operations. The South Hedland area nearby provides everyday services including shopping, schools, and healthcare for residents working in the resource sector. With a postcode median income reflecting the high wages typical of Pilbara mining communities, the locality primarily serves a workforce population. The remote Pilbara landscape, characterised by red earth plains, spinifex, and dramatic coastal scenery, defines the broader character of the region.
Boodarie falls under postcode 6722 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Pilbara (Mining and Pastoral) electorate.
