West Kimberley

West Kimberley is a sub region of the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

The region is defined according to different purposes. The area has been listed as a heritage area.[1][2] Related to the heritage listing, the area has had portions that have been omitted due to extant mining leases.[3]

The name is also included in the current local government name of Shire of Derby-West Kimberley, which was known earlier as the West Kimberley Road Board.[4]
