Resuming on 160, Drew reached his double century shortly before the lunch break with the hosts later declaring at 7-438, adding 127 in Saturday's first session for the loss of two wickets.
Drew accumulated 25 boundaries in his 345-ball innings, which far exceeded his previous best first-class score of 130.
He put on 78 for the eighth wicket with Nathan McAndrew (56), who dominated the stand with some big hitting - smashing four sixes over deep midwicket, two off David Moody and the other two off Corey Rocchiccioli.
Drew, who represented an Australia XI against Pakistan back in 2019, had a life on 204 when Marcus Stoinis dropped a sharp chance at short midwicket.
WA enjoyed some success earlier in the session with Harry Nielsen (28) caught at point by Rocchiccioli off Charlie Stobo (3-54), ending a sixth wicket stand of 53.
Stobo then took a catch at midwicket off Matthew Kelly (2-57) to dismiss Ben Manenti for five.
