The larger eastern part of the Shire of Katanning, up to Katanning itself, is located on the traditional land of the Koreng people.[5][6] The smaller western part, west of Katanning, which includes Carrolup, is located on the traditional land of the Kaneang people, with both being of the Noongar nation.[7][8][9]
