Goulburn Mulwaree Local Government Area has a population of approximately 30,556. It is situated 625 metres above sea level in the scenic Southern Tablelands of NSW. Only 2 hours from Sydney, 1 hour from Canberra, just over an hour to the coast, and 3 hours from the Snowy Mountains, Goulburn is centrally located just off the Hume Highway and provides a unique blend of city facilities and a country lifestyle. The Goulburn Mulwaree Council Local Government Area covers an area of 3,293 square kilometres and includes a number of small towns and village communities including: Bungonia, Lake Bathurst, Marulan, Parkesbourne, Tallong, Tarago, Tirrannaville, Towrang, & Windellama. 4 People who relocate to Goulburn often find they can purchase a better and larger home for far less than they would in a metropolitan location. There are a range of options to suit different lifestyles, from inner city apartments to acreage on the city’s outskirts. If you are in the market to purchase a home, the median market value at March 2019 was $413,000. (Source: Rea- lestate.com.au) Or perhaps select from a wide range of rental properties. Median rental pric- es are: 2 Bedroom $290 p/w 3 Bedroom $350 p/w 4 Bedroom $430 p/w Air Goulburn Regional Airport – 8km / Canberra Airport – 90km Rail Located on the main southern railway line – Regular Services: Sydney/Canberra and Sydney/Melbourne Road Located on Hume Highway 191km south of Sydney and 95km north of Canberra Sea Port Kembla (Wollongong) 140km, Port Botany (Sydney) 190km 5 Average Summer Temperature 28°C Average Summer Humidity 59% at 9am - 46% at 3pm Average Winter Temperature 12°C Average Winter Humidity 86% at 9am - 37% at 3pm Average Annual Rainfall 640.3 mm Yearly Rainfall Averages: 2004 - 540.6 mm 2005 - 581.0 mm 2006 - 446.0 mm 2007 - 678.4 mm 2008 - 587.6 mm 2009 - 490.8 mm 2010 - 915.4 mm 2011 - 518.6 mm 2012 - 739.2 mm 2013 - 607.4 mm 2014 - 712.4 mm 2015 - 519.6 mm 2016 - 721.4 mm 2017 - 497.2 mm 2018 - 485.2 mm Right now in Goulburn there is full range of educational facilities, from preschool through to Tertiary.

  • 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.

    The Bungonia Times The Community Grape Vine www.bungonia.net Circulation 380 Est. Readership 1,000 Volume 20 Issue 6 July, 2010 Macquarie magnificence None of this has stopped the little village from putting on a Convict Dinner to mark the occasion. Lachlan Macquarie might not be important enough for the state government to acknowl- edge but he has most certainly been important enough for Bungonia. In 1820 it was Macquarie, after all, who issued the Order giving permission to occupy the new country which included Bungonia. One hundred and ninety years later, Bungonia might have no school or shop, but it has a great heart. About 100 people descended on the hall, many dressed in convict clothing ( stripes are so fetching) or the dress of the day. False moustaches and mop caps were in abundance. Everyone contributed to a traditional 1800’s fare; hard-boiled eggs, pickled onions and hard cheeses greeted us at our tables, with the less certain addition of feijoas to provide Vitamin C and protection against scurvy. Rabbit, oxtail stew with dumplings, sauerkraut and Neaps all poured from the partly renovated hall kitchen. Choices of pudding included pie, apple charlotte and a wonderful fresh syllabub, which I am determined to master for dinners at home. Those who thought Anne Williams and her committee were there only to provide the meal were sorely mistaken; as convicts were clearing the pudding plates, Julia Mackay’s Macquarie Trivia competition began. Shamefully no table got near a full score but we certainly learnt a lot about Macquarie in the 40 intensely competitive minutes that followed.
