About West End

West End is a small coastal suburb of Geraldton in Western Australia, located on a peninsula approximately 4 kilometres west of Geraldton's central business district within the City of Greater Geraldton. The suburb is primarily industrial in character, housing much of the Port of Geraldton's infrastructure, though it also contains a small residential population of 536 people. Geraldton itself is situated approximately 424 kilometres north of Perth, making West End part of one of Western Australia's major regional port cities.

The suburb's coastal position on the Indian Ocean gives it an open, windswept character, and the historic Point Moore Lighthouse — one of the oldest and tallest lighthouses in Western Australia — is a notable local landmark. The working port environment shapes the suburb's identity, though the surrounding Geraldton area offers beaches, cafes, and regional amenities within a short drive. West End suits those connected to the port and maritime industries, or those drawn to Geraldton's relaxed regional lifestyle.

West End falls under postcode 6530 and is governed by the Greater Geraldton Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Durack, while state elections fall under the Moore (Agricultural) electorate.
