TOURISM Upper Lachlan’s tourism industry provides a wide range of accommodation and experiences. Excellent visitor numbers, increasing over the years, have made tourism an important industry for Upper Lachlan Shire’s economy, with many entrepreneurs, investors and local communities contributing to the success of the area. Amongst the rolling hills of the shire, you will find pioneering villages each with its own rich history and individual contribution to the character of the area. Spend a few days and you can explore the stone architecture of Taralga, the gold mining history of Tuena, the fine wool region of Gunning and the bushranging past of Collector, just to name a few... The area has a range of retail stores to peruse, including the Lindner Sock Factory and Shop in Crookwell. The fourth-generation family owned and operated business, produces a variety of sock styles on site and visitors can come and see their machines in action. For more active visitors, there are various bike trails throughout the area or for those who wish to relax, there are numerous fine dining options, including the Laggan Pantry and the newly renovated Argyle Inn. The Shire is also well known for some exciting local events, including the annual Crookwell Potato Festival, a celebration of over 150 years of growing potatoes in the area and the Collector Pumpkin Festival, where the humble pumpkin is celebrated. AGRICULTURE Upper Lachlan Shire is well known for its rich and fertile soils and cold winters. Agriculture is the heart of the local economy, with 52% of businesses in 2017 are in the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector and 43% of the population employed in the sector. There are major shifts occurring in agriculture with the introduction of new farming methods and diversification of many land holdings toward new ventures such as olive growing, alpaca wool and horse studs. As well as sheep and cattle farming, Upper Lachlan Shire is now considered the “hub” of alpaca farming in NSW with an estimated 6000 alpacas across the region and growing. Renewable energy is also a key industry in the Shire, with the Shire now home to nine large-scale wind farms, including the first grid connected wind farm in Australia, Crookwell Wind Farm. The Gullen Range Wind Farm, consisting of 73 wind turbines, and Gullen Solar Farm, consisting of 42,000 solar panels, are located along SERREE’s* Renewable Energy Trail. *South East Region of Renewable Energy Excellence Page 4 Case Study LAGGAN PANTRY is a restaurant nestled in the gardens of the old police barracks circa 1837. Food is sourced from the farm and kitchen garden and LAGGAN PRODUCE produces the jams and condiments used in the restaurant and for sale to the general public. There is also accommodation on-site. The philosophy of Laggan Pantry is that of seasonal, local and the freshest of produce. The restaurant has a modern Australian menu with ingredients coming from surrounding farms, the kitchen garden and local suppliers. The restaurant also has an extensive wine list showcasing local and regional wines and beers. The soul of the property, however, is the farm. Laggan Produce has built a ‘paddock to plate philosophy’ and supplies Laggan Pantry with the preserved and fresh products which are also sold to the general public.

  • Upper Lachlan Shire Council
    SUBMISSION 31 Ourref: 1.9.6 Committee Secretary, Standing Committee on Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, PO Box 6021, House of Representatives, Parliament House, CANBERRA ACT 2600 25 June 2008 Re: Inquiry into the proposed new Regional Development Australia Funding Program. It is the opinion of the Upper Lachlan Shire Council that the Capital Region Area Consultative Committee has been extremely effective in assisting both Council and the various local groups to establish whether their potential project matched the criteria for Regional Partnership Program funding. The provision of support and assistance by the Capital Region Area Consultative Committee in the preparation of valid and credible applications has been a major advantage both to Council and to the local community groups that have sought assistance under the Regional Partnerships Program. Upper Lachlan Shire Council was successful with two projects under the Regional Partnerships Program in 2006 and 2008, namely the: 1. Taralga Community Service Centre - this project principally involved the purchase of the former Taralga Post Office and renovations of the building to provide a Taralga Community Service Centre with access to Post Office, Medicare Office, Tourist Information Centre, all Council Services, Bureau of Meteorology and office facilities. The Taralga Community Centre has been a highly successful project in promoting Upper Lachlan Shire Council to the Taralga community and allowed postal services to remain in the town of Taralga. 2. Crookwell Integrated Medical Centre - this project primarily involved the purchase and fit-out of the former Banfield House Aged Care Hostel at Crookwell, with the aim of establishing a one-stop, walk-in/walk-out fully Integrated Medical Centre.
