About Port Albany

Port Albany is a suburb of the City of Albany located in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, approximately 400 kilometres south of Perth. The suburb is bounded by Princess Royal Harbour to the south and King George Sound to the east, and is home to the working Port of Albany — one of the region's key maritime and industrial facilities. Its geography makes it one of the most dramatically situated port suburbs in Western Australia, with sweeping ocean views across the sound.

With a small resident population of around 133 people, Port Albany is primarily an industrial and port-related precinct rather than a traditional residential suburb. The suburb's character is defined by its maritime heritage and harbour activity, and it sits adjacent to Albany's broader city amenities including shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Nearby Middleton Beach and the Albany waterfront offer recreational opportunities, while the area draws history enthusiasts interested in Albany's significant role in Australian military history as the departure point for ANZAC troops.

Port Albany falls under postcode 6330 and is governed by the Albany Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Forrest, while state elections fall under the Albany (South West) electorate.
