About Kondinin
Kondinin is a small agricultural town in the eastern Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, located approximately 279 kilometres east of Perth via the Brookton Highway and State Route 40, positioned between the towns of Corrigin and Hyden. Serving as one of three townsites within the Shire of Kondinin alongside Karlgarin and Hyden, the town covers a vast locality of over 1,186 square kilometres of flat, open Wheatbelt country. With a population of around 332 residents, Kondinin is a tight-knit rural community deeply rooted in grain farming and agricultural services that have shaped the Wheatbelt for over a century.
Kondinin provides the essential services and community infrastructure that sustains life in the eastern Wheatbelt, including a primary school, health clinic, sporting facilities, and a general store, all supported by the Shire of Kondinin administration. The town is perhaps best known beyond the region through the Kondinin Group, an influential agricultural research and information organisation that has operated from the area and holds considerable significance in Australian farming circles. The surrounding landscape of golden wheat paddocks, salt lakes, and vast open skies offers a characteristically West Australian Wheatbelt experience, with Hyden's famous Wave Rock accessible approximately 95 kilometres to the south-east.
Kondinin falls under postcode 6367 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Central Wheatbelt (Agricultural) electorate.
