Pinjarra is a town in the Peel region of Western
Australia along the South Western Highway, 86
kilometres (53 mi) from the state capital,
Perth and 21 kilometres (13 mi) south-east of the
coastal city of Mandurah. Its local government
area is the Shire of Murray. At the 2011 census,
Pinjarra had a population of 4,255.
Because of its close proximity to Mandurah,
Australia's fastest-growing city, Pinjarra's
population is likely to increase significantly
through new subdivisions surrounding the original
townsite. There is a newly opened shopping
centre, complete with a Coles Supermarket and a
Subway restaurant. Peel Zoo, known for its bird
wildlife, is situated near Pinjarra.
