Moree Plains Shire Council Empowers Local Innovation with a $5M Investment in Welcome

Moree Plains Shire Council is thrilled to announce the successful raising of $5,000,000 in new funding—a monumental milestone for our community. Nestled in the heart of northwest New South Wales near the Queensland border, our Shire boasts a unique blend of modern living and agricultural tradition. With towns like Mungindi straddling state lines, Moree Plains Shire offers not only expansive farmlands managed by advanced, innovative producers but also the close-knit charm of a community where life is lived just minutes away from work, schools, parks, shops, and sporting grounds. This funding boost is set to support a range of community enhancement projects aimed at improving local infrastructure and services that our residents rely on daily. The new funds will ensure that we continue to look after essential amenities from maintaining our roads and handling rubbish, recycling, and organic waste management, to organizing vibrant community events and developing state-of-the-art facilities like the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre. Additionally, the funding will bolster our efforts in tourism and future planning—vital components as we prepare our Shire for a thriving future. With regular weekday flight services connecting us to Brisbane and Sydney, and free parking in our CBD that emphasizes our commitment to community convenience and quality of life, we are poised for exciting developments. We are immensely proud of our heritage, our innovative agricultural base, and the strong community spirit that makes Moree Plains Shire a truly exceptional place to live, work, and grow for many years to come.
