The Shire of Merredin includes the towns of Hines Hill, Burracoppin, Sth Burracoppin, Goomarin, Korbel, Merredin, Muntadgin, Nangeenan, Nokanning, Tangedin, Nukarni and Norpa. It is situated approximately 260 kilometres east of Perth (the capital city of Western Australia) and is the major commercial and retail centre for the eastern Wheatbelt.
Merredin is also a regional base for a range of Government agencies and services. It is an area with high employment and extensive community involvement.
Located on the Great Eastern Highway and having the benefit of railway facilities (Merredin is serviced daily by the TransWA Prospector train) it is convenient to find by road and rail.
Sheree is the Shire of Merredin Media Officer and I (Robyn) manage the Central Wheatbelt Visitor Centre. We would like to assist in the weekly contributions for the Shire of Merredin page on your new website. Please note the spelling of Merredin is incorrect on this web page link.
Hi Robyn and Sheree, thanks for your interest! I will reply to Sheree’s Facebook message and hopefully we can work something out. Also, thanks for letting us know about the spelling! Such an obvious mistake that has been overlooked.
Kind regards – Ed.
