About Grass Patch
Grass Patch is a small agricultural locality in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia, situated approximately 150 kilometres north of Esperance within the vast Shire of Esperance. Covering an extraordinary 1,482 square kilometres, the locality has a population of just 113 people, reflecting its character as a remote, dryland farming community on the south-eastern WA plains. The area is part of the federal electorate of Durack and the state electorate of Roe, both encompassing large swathes of rural and agricultural Western Australia.
Grass Patch is surrounded by large grain and sheep farms that form the backbone of the local economy, typical of the broader Esperance agricultural zone. A small community hall and basic rural services serve local residents, while Esperance — the nearest regional centre — provides hospitals, supermarkets, schools, and full commercial services. The locality has a very low population density and no urban infrastructure, making it suited to those working in dryland agriculture or seeking an extremely quiet rural lifestyle in the remote south-east of Western Australia.
Grass Patch falls under postcode 6446 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Roe (Agricultural) electorate.
