South Boulder suburb profile

South Boulder is a residential suburb of Kalgoorlie-Boulder immediately south of the historic Boulder townsite, with a working-class character shaped by the Goldfields. Streets are mostly simple grids lined with modest timber and brick homes that reflect the area's mining-era origins alongside some later infill. It attracts long-term locals, families and people employed in mining and regional services, and residents rely on Boulder's shopping and community facilities a short distance away. On the town's edge there are reserves and open scrub that give a semi-rural outlook, and local roads link the suburb to Kalgoorlie and wider regional amenities.
