About Gabbadah
Gabbadah is a coastal locality in the Shire of Gingin, located approximately 90 kilometres north-north-west of Perth along Western Australia's Indian Ocean coastline. With a 2021 Census population of 764 residents spread across 65 square kilometres, it is a sparsely settled rural locality with a low population density. The name Gabbadah is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "mouthful of water", reflecting its location near where the Moore River meets the Indian Ocean.
The locality is characterised by its remote coastal and bushland setting, neighbouring communities of Guilderton and Seabird, and the natural beauty of the Moore River mouth area. There is no rail or regular bus service, making a private vehicle essential for residents. The area attracts those seeking a quiet, nature-oriented lifestyle close to Western Australia's coastal wilderness, with beaches and waterways drawing visitors and residents alike.
Gabbadah falls under postcode 6041 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Moore (Agricultural) electorate.
