At the centre of the Peel region and within an hour of Perth, the Shire of Murray boasts thousands of square kilometres of natural beauty. Bounded by the idyllic shores of Herron Point in the west, the adventure town of Dwellingup in the east and the equestrian playgrounds of North Dandalup and Coolup to the north and south respectively, the district offers an abundance of leisure opportunities as well as a diverse range of land use options. Murray is home to enticing residential estates ranging from urban hubs and canal living to rural residential, offering a relaxed country lifestyle with convenient transport links to the freeway and several large urban centres. As a rapidly evolving shire servicing the diverse social and economic needs of a growing community, Murray is grounded by its history and rural charm which guides its development. Smart planning and a focus on broadening our shire’s economic base are opening up significant opportunities for tourism, commercial investment, employment and education. The long-term vision for Murray is to create a district distinctive for its creativity, liveliness, activity and vibrancy, attracting new investment, seizing opportunities to develop and expand its business sector, and encouraging innovation and collaboration, while providing an enticing array of lifestyle attractions.
