About Forest Grove
Forest Grove is a rural locality in the Shire of Augusta–Margaret River, situated in Western Australia's South West region approximately 260 kilometres south of Perth and around 15 kilometres north-east of the township of Margaret River. With a 2021 Census population of 253 spread across 128 square kilometres of karri forest and farmland, the area is characterised by a very low residential density typical of the South West hinterland. The locality falls within the federal electorate of Forrest and shares the warm, wet winters and dry summers of the Margaret River wine and tourism region.
Forest Grove is a quiet, semi-rural retreat whose surrounds include the tall karri forests and rolling farmland that define the southern Margaret River region. The locality offers proximity to the world-famous Margaret River food, wine, and surf tourism precinct, with the township's restaurants, cellar doors, galleries, and beaches within a short drive. A car is essential for everyday living, and the area suits those seeking acreage and privacy while remaining connected to the wider Margaret River community.
Forest Grove falls under postcode 6286 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warren-Blackwood (South West) electorate.
