Newlands is a small rural locality in Western Australia's South West region, situated approximately 12 kilometres from Donnybrook and 190 kilometres south of Perth within the Shire of Donnybrook–Balingup. The South Western Highway passes through the eastern part of the locality, connecting it to Donnybrook to the north and Bridgetown to the south. The locality was established as a siding on the Donnybrook to Bridgetown railway and covers roughly 27 square kilometres, home to 112 residents across about 41 dwellings in a setting of farmland and light bushland.
Donnybrook is the primary service centre for Newlands residents, offering shops, a primary school, medical facilities, and community amenities just a short drive north along the South Western Highway.
