About East Beverley

East Beverley is a small rural locality in the Shire of Beverley, situated in Western Australia's Central Wheatbelt region approximately 130 kilometres south-east of Perth. With a 2021 Census population of just 96 residents spread across a vast 254 square kilometre area, it is a sparsely settled farming district rather than a conventional suburb. The locality falls under the Central Wheatbelt state electorate and the federal electorate of Pearce. Broad-acre agriculture — principally wheat cropping and livestock — defines the land use and character of the area.

Day-to-day services, shopping, and community facilities are found in the nearby town of Beverley, roughly 20 kilometres to the west, which has a hotel, supermarket, schools, and the Shire of Beverley council offices. East Beverley itself historically supported its own school and district hall, reflecting the once-denser farming communities of the Wheatbelt. Residents are predominantly farming families and agricultural workers who value open space, quiet rural living, and strong ties to the broader Beverley district community. The area is accessed via the Great Southern Highway corridor and is within approximately an hour and a half's drive of the Perth metropolitan fringe.

East Beverley falls under postcode 6304 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Central Wheatbelt (Agricultural) electorate.
