About Jingalup

Jingalup is a rural locality in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, situated within the Shire of Kojonup approximately 275 kilometres south-east of Perth and 19 kilometres south-west of Kojonup. Established in 1924, the locality covers a substantial 395 square kilometres of farming land and nature reserve in the Stirling Range foothills region. At the 2021 Census, Jingalup recorded a population of 139 residents, reflecting its character as a sparse agricultural locality with a small but established rural community. The median household income is modest, consistent with the mixed farming economy of the Great Southern.

The locality is home to the Jingalup Nature Reserve and South Jingalup Nature Reserve, which protect native bushland and wildlife typical of the Great Southern's sandplain and mallee heath country. Kojonup, the nearest service town, offers essential amenities including a small shopping centre, school, medical services, and fuel. Jingalup sits on Murrin Brook, a tributary of the Tone River, adding to the pastoral character of the landscape. The area attracts farmers and those who value the quiet isolation of south-west WA's agricultural heartland, with the natural reserves offering walking and nature experiences on the doorstep.

Jingalup falls under postcode 6395 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Roe (Agricultural) electorate.
