It is the administrative and commercial centre of a prosperous cropping and grazing district, and offers significant business and lifestyle opportunities. Kojonup is a two-hour drive from Perth and 160km from Albany.
The Shire of Kojonup takes its name from the Noongar word for axe and traces its modern origins to European settlers in 1837. The settlers came because of Kojonup’s fresh water spring, soon flanked by a military barracks constructed in 1845. The barracks is one of the oldest surviving military buildings in Western Australia.
With a population of 1,901 and a land area of 2,931 sq km, Kojonup contributes $202 million of the Great Southern’s gross regional product. Agriculture is the main employer.

Kojonup provides a terrific lifestyle for my family. I like that the town is so proud of our history, and that it is a safe and friendly place to bring up kids. The best thing by far is how lovely everyone is here, and how easy it is to have a strong group of friends…especially with sport being such a big part of our lives.
