Kojonup - Gnowangerup

23,567 km²

Low accessibility to services and basic amenities sets Kojonup - Gnowangerup apart from the rest of the state. This vast regional area is mostly car-dependent, with very few homes within walking distance of schools, shops or health services. It is a sparsely populated part of Western Australia where residents rely heavily on vehicles to get around. The community is marked by a significant gap in outcomes for its First Nations people compared to national figures.
