Shire of Harvey is a Thriving Destination

The Shire of Harvey has been recognised as one of Western Australia’s most sought-after regional destinations in the latest Regional Movers Index, released by CommBank and the Regional Australia Institute.

The December 2024 quarter report highlights strong growth across the South West, with Harvey listed alongside Bunbury, Capel, Albany and York as key hotspots for people relocating from capital cities and other regional areas.

Despite a national slowdown in inter-regional migration, Harvey continues to experience double-digit annual growth, reflecting the appeal of its lifestyle, affordability and access to services.

This upward trend positions the Shire as a thriving destination for new residents looking to make a sea or tree change.
