About Morangup
Morangup is a rural locality situated approximately 75 kilometres north-east of Perth in Western Australia, nestled within the Avon Valley and Wheatbelt fringe region of the Shire of Toodyay. With a population of 751 residents spread across a substantial 203 square kilometres, it is a sparsely settled area characterised by large rural blocks and bushland. The median income of around $54,000 reflects a modest rural household profile, with most residents owning acreage properties.
The locality is known for the Morangup State Forest, which covers a significant portion of the area and provides habitat for native flora and fauna typical of the Darling Range foothills. Residents rely on the nearby town of Toodyay for essential services, schools, and shopping, while Northam and the Perth metropolitan area are accessible via the Great Northern Highway. The area appeals to those seeking a quiet semi-rural lifestyle within a reasonable distance of Perth, with a strong sense of community among its small but settled population.
Morangup falls under postcode 6083 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Swan Hills (East Metropolitan) electorate.
