About Scott River East
Scott River East is a large, sparsely populated rural locality in the south-west of Western Australia, covering over 563 square kilometres within the Shire of Nannup. Positioned east of the Scott River system and south of the Blackwood River, the locality lies within the heart of the Blackwood Basin agricultural and timber region, approximately 280 kilometres south of Perth. With a population of around 68 residents, the area supports grazing, timber, and mixed farming enterprises across its extensive landholdings.
The locality is surrounded by some of Western Australia's most significant native forests, including jarrah and marri woodland, with portions adjacent to conservation reserves and state forest. The town of Nannup — known for its historic timber heritage and the annual Nannup Music Festival — is the nearest service centre, providing fuel, groceries, and community facilities. Scott River East attracts those who value remote rural living, working landscapes, and the quiet beauty of the south-west hinterland.
Scott River East falls under postcode 6275 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warren-Blackwood (South West) electorate.
