Tutunup is a rural locality of the City of Busselton in the South West region of Western Australia. [2] [3]

The City of Busselton and the locality of Tutunup are located on the traditional land of the Wardandi (also spelled Wadandi) people, [4] [5] of the Noongar nation. [6]

Tutunup was established as Tutunup Siding, located on the Nannup Branch Railway, as a Group Settlement with the group number 14 in May 1922. [7] [8]

The locality was the site of a proposed mineral sands mine in 2002 by Cable Sands [9] and Iluka Resources, the Tutunup Mineral Sands Project, with the company having applied for approval in 2021. The proposed mine would stretch along the southern boundary of the locality which runs along the edge of Millbrook State Forest. [10]
