Boyup Brook has a relaxed, rural lifestyle, within easy access of Perth, but far removed from the big city crowds, pollution, transport congestion, crime and inner city isolation.
Large areas of the Boyup Brook Shire have been cleared for agriculture, however, areas of state forest, consisting mainly of remnant jarrah/ marri woodland, occupy the northern and southern portions of the Shire. A large portion of the remnant jarrah/marri forest in the south of the Shire is reserved for conservation purposes.
The Shire includes the suburbs of Boyup Brook, Dinninup, Kulikup, Mayanup, McAlinden, Tonebridge, and Wilga.
