About Scotts Brook
Scotts Brook is a broad rural locality of the Shire of Boyup Brook in the South West region of Western Australia, located approximately 270 kilometres south-south-east of Perth. Spanning almost 379 square kilometres of rolling hills, jarrah and marri forests, and pastoral farmland, the locality had a population of 89 residents at the 2021 Census, with males comprising a notably higher proportion of residents. The area sits within the state electorate of Warren-Blackwood and has a recorded history dating back to 1854, when grazier William Scott first settled along the creek that now bears his name.
Scotts Brook is characterised by a quiet, agricultural lifestyle with sheep and cattle grazing and some cropping across the wider Boyup Brook Shire. The Blackwood River, which flows through the broader district, supports both farming activity and nature-based recreation such as fishing and bushwalking. The nearby town of Boyup Brook, the Shire's administrative centre, provides essential services including a supermarket, medical facilities, and the iconic Boyup Brook Country Music Festival held annually. Residents rely on private vehicles for all travel, with Bunbury about 100 kilometres to the west being the nearest major regional centre.
Scotts Brook falls under postcode 6244 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warren-Blackwood (South West) electorate.
