About Kalannie
Kalannie is a small Wheatbelt town in the Shire of Dalwallinu, Western Australia, situated approximately 259 kilometres north-east of Perth. Established in 1929, it serves as a service centre for a large surrounding grain-growing district covering over 710 square kilometres. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 147 residents. Kalannie gained national recognition in 1992 as the winner of the National Landcare Award, reflecting the region's commitment to sustainable farming practices and Oil Mallee production trials.
The town provides essential services to a broad farming catchment, including a general store, community facilities, and agricultural support businesses. Grain production — particularly wheat — is the lifeblood of the local economy, with the surrounding district one of Western Australia's major cereal cropping areas. For residents, the community spirit is strong, with local events and sporting clubs forming the social backbone of this remote outback town. Perth is accessible via the Great Northern Highway for major services, hospitals, and retail.
Kalannie falls under postcode 6468 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Moore (Agricultural) electorate.
