About Picton East
Picton East is a predominantly rural locality in the Shire of Dardanup, situated in Western Australia's South West region approximately 155 kilometres south of Perth and about 8 kilometres from Bunbury. Covering around 12.5 square kilometres, the locality includes a mix of farmland and some commercial activity in its central section. With a 2021 Census population of 141 residents, Picton East is a semi-rural community that benefits from its position between the regional city of Bunbury and the quiet township of Dardanup.
Picton East is well-connected by road — the Forrest Highway forms its northern boundary, while both the South Western Highway and the South Western Railway run through the locality. This gives residents good access to Bunbury's full range of services, including shopping centres, schools, and healthcare. The locality sits on the traditional land of the Wardandi people of the Noongar nation, and its semi-rural character makes it popular with residents who want space and affordability within an easy commute of Bunbury.
Picton East falls under postcode 6229 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Collie-Preston (South West) electorate.
