Overview

Capel sits midway between Bunbury and Busselton, about 212 km south of Perth, on the banks of the Capel River at 19 m above sea level. The hot‑summer Mediterranean climate brings warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters, supporting a lifestyle that blends coastal proximity with the region’s rich farming heritage. While dairy and beef remain staples, many residents now enjoy hobby farms, alpaca pens, vineyards and even aquaculture, creating a varied housing mix that ranges from classic farmyard blocks to newer lifestyle properties.

The town’s centre hosts key amenities within walking distance: Capel Primary School, South‑West John Calvin Christian College, Capel Hall, a public library and the heritage‑listed St John’s Anglican Church. Local government services sit alongside the shire offices on the Bussell Highway, providing easy road access to nearby centres. With a 2016 town population of 2,509, Capel offers a tight‑knit community set against a backdrop of innovative agriculture and convenient transport links.
