Welcome to Walgett Shire Council

Walgett Shire embraces the fertile black soil plains of northern New South Wales. It is a land of agricultural abundance and the home of opal - Australia's National Gemstone. It's also a 22,000 square kilometre playground for the modern day explorer.

Our towns and villages have a proud and fascinating pioneering history, and our people still have the inventiveness and good humour of the early pioneers.
