About West Pingelly
West Pingelly is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Shire of Pingelly in Western Australia's Wheatbelt region, located approximately 158 kilometres south-east of Perth via the Brookton Highway. Covering around 359 square kilometres of predominantly agricultural land, the locality recorded a population of approximately 100 residents in the 2021 Census. The area falls under the Central Wheatbelt state electorate and is characterised by large grain-growing properties typical of the broader Pingelly district.
West Pingelly has no town centre of its own; residents depend on the nearby town of Pingelly for everyday services including schools, shops, and medical facilities. Pingelly town, which lies to the east of the locality, sits on the Great Southern railway line and has a history dating back to the 1889 opening of the Great Southern Railway. The wider Pingelly district is known for cereal cropping and sheep farming, and the landscape reflects the open, rolling farmland of the central Wheatbelt.
West Pingelly falls under postcode 6308 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Central Wheatbelt (Agricultural) electorate.
