Moree Plains Shire Council acknowledges and pays respect to the traditional owners of the lands where we live, work as well as across the lands we travel. Moree Plains Shire Council recognises the different spelling and pronunciations used to represent the original inhabitants of the Moree Plains Shire. The word Gamilaroi will be used.
The opportunity is to be the Manager Roads & Transport for our 17,500 km2 Shire in the North West Slopes of NSW as a part of your local government career.
There is plenty to do and achieve for yourself as a local government manager, our 13,900 residents and support our agriculture based economy.
Moree Plains Shire is located 640km northwest of Sydney and 473km southwest of Brisbane in North West NSW, covering an area of 17,930 km2.
Moree is our major town centre, abuzz with business opportunity, tourism and culture. Our community members are spread out across the Shire on agricultural holdings and in the border towns of Mungindi and Boggabilla, as well as the unique rural villages of Ashley, Biniguy, Boomi, Bullarah, Garah, Gurley, Pallamallawa, Terry Hie Hie, Toomelah, and Weemelah.
We are the most productive agricultural Shire in Australia. Home to the renowned black soil plains and abundant water supply, we boast strong agricultural industries in cotton, grain, oilseeds, livestock and agTech.
The Mehi, Gwydir, Barwon and Macintyre rivers flow through the Shire and the bore water of the Great Artesian Basin is a major tourist attraction and community asset.
Moree Plains is a dynamic and progressive community, on the cusp of game-changing growth and opportunity with the construction of the Inland Rail and the NSW Government’s investment into the Moree Special Activation Precinct (SAP). The SAP is projected to switch the Shire’s population from declining to growing and is expected to attract an extra 4500 people to Moree Plains by 2041. It is our challenge to capitalise on this growth and investment.
Founded upon Gamilaroi land, we have a rich Aboriginal heritage and are home to several discrete Aboriginal communities managed by the various Local Aboriginal Lands Councils (LALC). We are committed to preserving and celebrating our country, culture and lifestyle and helping create a strong and rewarding economy for all.
“The agricultural prosperity and opportunities that offers. The lifestyle is second to none”
“The people are great; jobs are plentiful and it’s a great place to build wealth”
