About Springfield
Springfield is a small rural locality in the Shire of Irwin in Western Australia's Mid West region, located within postcode 6525 which encompasses the Dongara–Port Denison area approximately 350 kilometres north of Perth. With a population of around 276 residents spread across 14.6 square kilometres, Springfield is a quiet agricultural locality set inland from the Indian Ocean coast near the Irwin River. The area's median household income reflects the working farming and pastoral households that define much of the Mid West's rural interior.
The surrounding Shire of Irwin is known for its grain and horticulture farming, with Springfield sitting in the productive agricultural belt between the Brand Highway and the coast. The nearby town of Dongara, famous for its historic streetscapes, rock lobster fishing, and the annual Larry Lobster Festival, provides the closest town services including shops, schools, and medical facilities. Life in Springfield suits those who value the wide open landscapes and slower rhythms of regional WA over city convenience, with Perth accessible via a long drive along the Brand or North West Coastal Highway.
Springfield falls under postcode 6525 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Moore (Agricultural) electorate.
