About Woodanilling
Woodanilling is a small rural town and locality in the Shire of Woodanilling, situated in Western Australia's Great Southern region approximately 252 kilometres south of Perth on the Great Southern Highway, 25 kilometres from Katanning and 30 kilometres from Wagin. The town covers a locality of nearly 80 square kilometres and has a population of around 207 residents, reflecting its identity as a working agricultural settlement rather than a commuter or lifestyle community. Woodanilling falls within the Great Southern electorate and is surrounded by the open pastoral and grain-growing country characteristic of inland south-west Western Australia.
The Shire of Woodanilling's economy is dominated by sheep and grain production, and the town serves as a service centre for the surrounding farmland. Basic local amenities are available in town, with the larger regional centres of Katanning and Wagin — both within 30 kilometres — offering schools, supermarkets, healthcare, and a wider range of services. Woodanilling is best suited to those involved in agriculture or seeking affordable rural living in WA's productive Great Southern region, with the wider landscape offering wide horizons, wildflowers in season, and the quiet self-reliance of country life.
Woodanilling falls under postcode 6316 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Roe (Agricultural) electorate.
