Meadow

About Meadow

Meadow is a very sparsely populated rural locality in the Mid West region of Western Australia, within postcode 6532, approximately 50 km inland from Geraldton. Covering around 834 square kilometres of pastoral and semi-arid landscape, the locality recorded a population of just 3 people in the 2021 census, making it one of the least populous localities in the state. It falls within the federal electorate of Durack and the state electorate of North West Central (Mining and Pastoral), reflecting the region's agricultural and resource-sector character. The terrain is typical of the Western Australian wheatbelt-pastoral transition zone, with open scrubland and low hills.

Meadow is primarily a pastoral locality, with land use dominated by sheep and cattle grazing across large stations. The nearest significant township is Geraldton, approximately 50–60 km to the west, which serves as the regional service hub for the area providing hospitals, schools, supermarkets, and port facilities. Like many vast localities in outback Western Australia, Meadow offers solitude and expansive natural scenery but very limited services on-site. The region is part of the broader Chapman Valley and Northampton district, known for its wildflower season and coastal farming heritage.

Meadow falls under postcode 6532 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the North West Central (Mining and Pastoral) electorate.
