The Shire of Boyup Brook is a local government area located in the South West region of Western Australia, about 270 kilometres (168 mi) southeast of Perth, the state capital. The Shire covers an area of 2,829 square kilometres (1,092 sq mi) and its seat of government is the town of Boyup Brook.

History[edit]

The Upper Blackwood Road District was gazetted on 17 July 1896. On 1 July 1961, it became the Shire of Upper Blackwood under the Local Government Act 1960 and on 30 May 1969 changed its name to the Shire of Boyup Brook.[2]

Indigenous people[edit]

The Shire of Boyup Brook is located on the traditional land of the Bibulman (also spelled Bibbulmun or Pibelmen)[3][4] and Kaniyang (also spelled Kaneang) people,[5][6] both of the Noongar nation.[7]

The shire's name is derived from the Aboriginal word Booyup, meaning "Place of Big Smoke", referring to the smoke from the burning of Grasstrees, or "Place of Big Stones", in reference to the large granite rocks surrounding the Upper Blackwood area.[8]

Wards[edit]

The shire has been divided into 4 wards.
