Bevan Eatts is a third-generation farmer, small business operator, and proud local from Manjimup. With deep roots in the Southern Forests, Bevan and his family run farms producing beef, wool, and a variety of gourmet vegetables. His approach is simple: work hard, care for the land, and back your community.
For decades, Bevan has stepped up to lead—serving as Chair of the Southern Forest Food Council, President of the Manjimup Chamber of Commerce, and Chair of the WA Water Users Coalition. He’s no stranger to tough issues, and he knows how to get things done.
Now, as the Nationals WA Member for Warren–Blackwood and Shadow Minister for Forestry and Aged Care, Bevan is fighting for practical, people-first solutions. He listens, shows up, and takes action—whether it’s on forestry reform, regional healthcare, or fixing the basics like roads and mobile coverage.
Bevan is here to serve the people of Warren–Blackwood.
With trusted leadership and a practical, community-first approach, he’s committed to strengthening our region and delivering real results that matter.
Because this region deserves real representation—and results that matter.
