The South West Region The South West is one of Western Australia’s nine recognised regions located outside the Perth metropolitan area. Fronting the Indian and Southern oceans, covering 24,000 square kilometers and including 12 local government areas, the South West is the most populous and economically diverse of WA’s regions. The regional landform comprises the Swan Coastal Plain to the north, the Scott Coastal Plain to the south, Darling Range in the east, and Whicher Range linking the Darling Range to the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge in the Capes area. Of the landmass that comprises the region, about two-thirds is made up of State Forest, National Parks and regional parks, with the southern forests being the largest component. About 25% is occupied by agricultural and rural uses, with about 8% used for industrial and urban development. Archaeological evidence shows that South West Aboriginal history dates back some 45,000 years. The Noongar people are the overall traditional owners and have widespread cultural and heritage links throughout the region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea7933c86435b1eb861c0f6/1593408562443-BS82V9IHXLGJA21PVNT2/image-asset.jpeg The South West - Fast Facts In 2024 the estimated population of the South West was 201,659, made up of: Bunbury Geographe - 118,292 The Capes Region - 64,413 Warren Blackwood - 18,954 Between 2011 and 2024 the population of the South West is estimated to have increased by 47,140 residents.
