From the Mayor
On behalf of the community, I would like to welcome all new and prospective residents, businesses and visitors to the Mudgee Region.
We are privileged to live in one of the most blessed regions in Australia with outstanding tourist delights, investment opportunities and lifestyle attractions. Add to this a fourseason climate, picturesque scenery, fine wine and locally grown food produce and a real community with heart and soul; we have a perfect lifestyle envied by others.
More than 23,000 people call the Region home and genuinely love where they live – it is perfect for outdoor living, families and businesses alike. We are welcoming and friendly, which is why the Region has become a popular location for tree changers who have had enough of traffic jams, congestion and long work hours. It offers the best of metropolitan style and conveniences, whilst maintaining the safe, clean, affordable, comfortable and convenient lifestyle of a friendly country community.
One of regional NSW’s fastest growing areas, the Mudgee Region is the gateway to the Central West and Far West regions of the State. Just over 3 hours drive from Sydney and Newcastle; it is easily accessible and centrally located to other major regional centres.
A key feature of the Region’s economy is its diversity. We offer jobs and business opportunities in a number of industries, including agriculture, viticulture, tourism and mining. People in the Region are vibrant, energetic, artistic and intelligent. The quality and diversity of the local labour force provides the Region with a real competitive edge. Our commercial, residential and retail diversity all make the Region an outstanding place to visit and an even better place to live.
Our town centres in Gulgong, Kandos, Mudgee and Rylstone are alive with visitors and families. The Region has open spaces, parks and sporting facilities, to enjoy outdoor activities and a large number of community and private events held each year. Local markets celebrate our culture by way of food, craft, fresh food and gifts for sale. There are activities for the kids and entertainment for the whole family.
The Mudgee Region has a great deal going for it and I invite you to come and experience, in person, one of the truly most liveable and enjoyable regions in NSW. For those of you who have made the Mudgee Region your new home or place of business … Congratulations and welcome! For those of you who are visiting … Enjoy!
Cr Des Kennedy – Mayor, Mid-Western Regional Council
