About West Coolup
West Coolup is a rural locality within the Shire of Murray in the Peel Region of Western Australia, situated on the eastern shore of the Harvey Estuary approximately 101 kilometres south of Perth and 33 kilometres south-east of Mandurah. Covering around 77 square kilometres, the locality has a population of 182 residents and lies on the traditional land of the Pindjarup people of the Noongar nation. The area is characterised by broad farmland, the tranquil estuary foreshore, and the natural wetlands that make the Peel-Harvey Estuary system ecologically significant.
West Coolup offers a quiet rural lifestyle within reach of the Peel region's amenities, with the town of Coolup and the larger regional centre of Pinjarra providing the nearest shops, schools, and services. The locality falls within the Murray-Wellington state electorate and is part of the Division of Canning federally. Residents are drawn to the peaceful setting, open paddocks, and the natural appeal of the Harvey Estuary, which supports bird watching and recreational fishing. All daily needs require a car, with Mandurah — offering full urban services and a train connection to Perth — being the closest major centre.
West Coolup falls under postcode 6214 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray-Wellington (South West) electorate.
