The economy is based on primary industry, with the emphasis clearly on broad scale agriculture.

Several commercial activities directly associated with the district’s primary production are established within the townsite. These include the CBH grain terminal, machinery dealers, agricultural suppliers, stock agents, livestock transporters and real estate agents.
COUNCIL'S PHILOSOPHY IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Council is committed to the promotion of Boyup Brook and the district as a preferred location for enterprise development and economic investment in the region.
Council will assist enterprises that add value to the district’s strengths and/or are innovative or technologically advanced to remain and prosper, or establish in Boyup Brook.
In order to achieve the above objectives, Council believes that:
SPIRIT CORRESPONDS WITH SUCCESS
We will leverage our resources and forge partnerships that deliver results. Successful economic development begins with people. Our belief is that the process of working out an agreement includes a sincere commitment towards a mutually satisfactory outcome.
Our economic development philosophy is simple: New business development is the result of public and private relationships which are based on trust, understanding, respect, and friendship. The world is changing. As our region looks for new ways to prosper in this global economy, we recognise the urgent need to support our industries most challenged by competitive pressures. At the same time, our economic development efforts will continue to encourage diversification.
Economic development is both a process and a program which promotes a self supporting local economy by creating jobs in a variety of employment opportunities; maintains and enhances the general business climate; increases business activity; expands and diversifies the rates base to support and finance necessary infrastructure and community services. It must serve to maintain and further enrich the community's quality of life.
The Shire of Boyup Brook vigorously seeks opportunities to help the private sector build the local economy through commercial, industrial, or residential projects. Special consideration is given to economic development projects which will create new jobs, increase property values, and/or generate new revenue within the community.
