Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council

The Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council encompasses a vast and diverse area in New South Wales, completely surrounding the Australian Capital Territory. This unique geographical position makes it a vital cultural and economic gateway to the nation's capital, Canberra. The region is celebrated for its historic towns such as Braidwood, Bungendore, and Queanbeyan, each offering beautifully preserved colonial architecture, antique shops, and a thriving local arts and crafts community.
