About Dawesville
Dawesville is a coastal residential suburb located about 13 kilometres south of Mandurah's city centre within the City of Mandurah, Western Australia, and approximately 80 kilometres south of Perth. With a population of 7,143 recorded at the 2021 census — up from 5,824 in 2016 — the suburb has experienced strong growth, attracting families and sea-changers drawn to its waterside lifestyle. The median age of 43 and predominantly Anglo-Celtic ancestry reflect an established community, with median household incomes around $1,469 per week.
Dawesville is known for its proximity to the Peel Inlet and the Indian Ocean, with beaches, waterways, and boating opportunities on the doorstep. The Dawesville Cut — an artificial channel connecting the Peel-Harvey Estuary to the ocean — is a defining local landmark popular with boaters and fishers. A local Coles supermarket serves the community, and the suburb's quiet streets and coastal character make it popular with families, retirees, and those seeking a relaxed lifestyle away from the city.
