Welcome to Palerang Council
Welcome to Palerang Council in south-east New South Wales, Australia.
Proclaimed on 11 February 2004, the Palerang 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.
Its residents enjoy a rural lifestyle, with principal industries being beef and sheep production, alpacas, stone fruit orchards, vineyards, lavender farms and berries. There is a thriving artistic community of writers, poets, film-makers, musicians and specialty craftspeople. The 67-turbine Capital Wind Farm at Bungendore overlooking Lake George is the largest renewable electricity generator commissioned in NSW since the Snowy Hydro Scheme.
