Narromine Shire Council

A Central West shire on the Macquarie River about 40km west of Dubbo — around 6,400 people across Narromine, Trangie and Tomingley, spread over 5,261 km². The economy runs on irrigated and broadacre agriculture (cotton, cereals, wool, commercial nurseries) with gold mining at Tomingley, and the Narromine Aerodrome is one of Australia's best-known gliding centres, home to the country's oldest regional aero club and an aviation museum. The council runs the local services you use every week — waste, water and sewer, roads, parks, development — and sets your rates. Here's the snapshot, then the stuff that affects your week.
