About Waterloo
Waterloo is a small rural locality in the South West region of Western Australia, situated within the Shire of Dardanup approximately 12 kilometres east of Bunbury and 162 kilometres south of Perth. With a 2021 Census population of 144 residents spread across 31.7 square kilometres, the locality retains a quiet, semi-rural character typical of the Bunbury hinterland. The area sits alongside the South Western Highway, connecting it to the regional city of Bunbury and the broader South West corridor.
Waterloo appeals to those seeking a rural lifestyle within easy reach of Bunbury's full range of urban services, including hospitals, shopping centres, schools, and employment. The surrounding landscape is characteristic of the South West — jarrah and marri woodland giving way to agricultural land used for grazing and horticulture. Residents are well connected to the Dardanup and Bunbury communities, making Waterloo a quietly practical base for those who prefer space and privacy without being truly remote.
Waterloo falls under postcode 6228 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Collie-Preston (South West) electorate.
