About our Region

Mid-Western Regional Council was proclaimed on 26 May 2004 and incorporates the whole of the former Mudgee Shire Council and parts of the former Merriwa and Rylstone Shires. The region covers an area of approximately 9,000 sq. kms, is located in the Central West of New South Wales, a state of Australia, and features agricultural diversity from quality wines to fine wool.
The Region includes the townships of Rylstone, Kandos, Gulgong and Mudgee and many village settlements throughout the area. The region has a wealth of opportunities for visitors, residents or those wishing to come to live or operate a commercial enterprise in our region.

With the sealing of Bylong Valley Way our region will be greatly opened up to visitors from the Hunter, East Coast and South coast, Bylong Valley Way is the shortest route from Victoria to the East coast of Australia, and tourism and other business opportunities will increase dramatically.
