Central Darling Shire Council

Central Darling Shire is the largest Shire in NSW and yet has the smallest population. It covers an area about the size of the main island of Tasmania and yet has a population of less than 2,000 people. The Shire is extremely diverse with four main communities – Wilcannia, Menindee, Ivanhoe and White Cliffs. Each of these communities are different in their commerce, geography and Indigenous and other cultures. The administration centre of the Shire is based in Wilcannia, which is situated on the Barrier Highway, approximately 198 kms east of Broken Hill, 470 kms north of Mildura and 260 kms west of Cobar.
