Suburb profile

Meda is a residential smaller community in Derby-West Kimberley with a familiar suburban feel. Remote from the metro area in the best sense: quiet streets, big skies and a town that runs on its own timetable. The community skews younger.

Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it. Housing remains accessible compared with many parts of the state.
