The Council strives to encourage a vibrant community that offers a comprehensive range of local and regional services. Its aim is to work with all communities in the Central Wheatbelt to support quality of life as well as economic and social development within the region. Merredin also boasts promising industry prospects with WA's largest wind farm and soon to be built solar farm. We rest at the junction where WA's power lines meet between Perth, Kalgoorlie and Collie and the Merredin CBH grain receival point hosts the southern hemisphere's largest grain storage facility measuring 610m x 59m and able to hold 220,000 tonnes of wheat. The CBH receival point also forms part of WA's recently opened PUBLIC Silo Trail which starts in Northam and finishes in Albany.
