Murray Shire
Murray Shire consistently ranks amongst the fastest growing Local Government Areas (LGA) in New South Wales. In 2009, Murray Shire grew to a population of 7,076, resulting in the third fastest population growth of any LGA in NSW. Murray Shire Council has established a reputation as an innovative Local Government authority, which is proactive in attracting new industry and developments.
The Shire’s main township is Moama, which is usually paired with its Victorian neighbour, Echuca. Echuca-Moama is known as the Paddlesteamer capital of Australia and is ideally positioned on the NSW and Victorian border at the closet point of the Murray River to Melbourne. This perfect location provides for an area booming with tourism, industry, business development and new residents.
