The Peel Development Commission is one of nine Regional Development Commissions that serve the State of Western Australia, and is responsible to the Hon David Templeman, MLA, Minister for Peel, the Environment and Climate Change.

The Peel Region covers an area of 5,600 square kilometres and extends from 35 to 145 kilometres south of Perth. It is home to 130 square kilometres of estuary and inland waterways, including a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention. The Region's western boundary is 50 kilometres of  Indian ocean coastline.

The Peel Region incorporates the geographical boundaries of five local municipalities - the City of Mandurah and the Shires of Boddington, Murray, Serpentine Jarrahdale and Waroona. Peel has a population of almost 93,000 and is the fastest growing region in Western Australia with an average population growth rate of 3.2% from 2001-06. 

Important infrastructure developments in the Region include the new Perth to Bunbury Highway, an extension of the Tonkin Highway to join the South Western Highway, and the new Southern Suburbs Railway.

The Region's economy is driven by mining, manufacturing, building and construction, retail and tourism. Agriculture also makes a significant contribution to the Peel's diverse economy. In 2005-06, new business registrations increased by 5.4% over the previous year.
