About the region
Situated in the scenic Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Goulburn Mulwaree Council covers an area of 3,232 square kilometres and is home to 27,277 people. Its strategic location on the Sydney-Canberra corridor provides a unique blend of city facilities and a country lifestyle.
Goulburn, Australia’s first inland city, plays an important role as the regional service centre for the surrounding rural villages of Marulan, Tallong, Bungonia, Windellama, Tirrannaville, Lake Bathurst, Tarago and Towrang; their economic and social history contribute significantly to the character of the area. The importance of Goulburn as a regional centre is reflected in the City’s heritage architecture which boasts magnificent cathedrals, schools and stately homes. The smaller workman’s cottages belonging to those employed in agriculture and transport in years gone by, are gradually being restored by proud owners and are valued as an integral part of Goulburn’s history.
Goulburn Mulwaree’s diverse industry base and stable workforce provide the region with a resilient economic foundation for sustainable growth and a remarkable record of stability. The wide ranging commercial and professional sectors more than adequately service the needs of the community.
Goulburn Mulwaree's secondary industry is based on a mix of private and Government enterprise. In the private sector, firms engaged in retail distribution, meat processing, mining, heavy and light engineering and building related undertakings can be found. State and Federal Government workshops exist for Public Works, Roads and Traffic Authority, the Railways, Electricity and Telecommunications.
