About Mullingar

Mullingar is a residential locality in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia, situated within the urban area of the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, approximately 600 kilometres east of Perth. Covering around 56 square kilometres, the locality had a population of 318 residents at the 2021 Census and forms part of the outer residential fringes of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Australia's premier gold mining city. With a median household income of around 8,771 — reflective of the region's well-paid mining sector workforce — Mullingar offers modest but reasonably affordable housing relative to other major Australian cities.

As a suburb of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Mullingar residents benefit from proximity to the services and amenities of one of outback Australia's most self-contained regional cities, including shopping centres, hospitals, schools, and the famous Kalgoorlie-Boulder Urban Landcare Group reserves. The Super Pit — one of Australia's largest open-cut gold mines — is a landmark of the broader region and drives much of the local economy. The area has a strong mining-community character, and its flat, arid landscape is typical of the Eastern Goldfields, with clear skies, wide roads, and a resilient outback community spirit.

Mullingar falls under postcode 6430 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kalgoorlie (Mining and Pastoral) electorate.
