Mullingar is a locality in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. It is a suburb of Kalgoorlie–Boulder. At the 2016 census, Mullingar had a population of 305 people,[2] down from 343 in 2011.[3]
Mullingar is wedge-shaped, with its northern boundary an east-west line approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of the Kalgoorlie town centre. Its western boundary runs north-northwest along the Leonora branch line of Eastern Goldfields Railway, while the eastern boundary of the locality runs north-east, roughly parallel to (and briefly along) Yarri Road. Only a small area of Mullingar is residential, specifically the area south of the Goldfields Highway and adjacent to the suburbs of Lamington and Piccadilly (from which it is separated by the railway). The remainder of Mullingar is mostly bushland, with some areas in the south used for mining.[4]
