Palerang is situated within the
Capital Region of New South Wales.
The new Council was proclaimed on 11 February 2004. Its local
government area includes the towns of Braidwood, Bungendore and
Captains Flat and the outlying villages of Araluen, Majors Creek,
Mongarlowe and Nerriga. It also includes the areas of Wamboin, Burra,
Bywong, Hoskinstown, and parts of Sutton, Royalla and Carwoola.
Palerang
Council extends to Lake George in the north, the Tallaganda State
Forest in the south, Queanbeyan City to the west and the Morton and
Budawang National Parks to the east.
The name Palerang Council is taken from Mt Palerang, one of the highest points in the new Council's area.
Its
residents enjoy a rural lifestyle, with principal industries being beef
and sheep production, stone fruit orchards, vineyards and emerging new
ventures such as alpacas, lavender and berries. There is also a large
and thriving artistic community comprising writers, poets, film-makers,
musicians, specialty craftspeople and many more.
