About Walcha

Walcha offers new residents the opportunity to enjoy a friendly country lifestyle, whilst still having access to a range of services including medical, education and shopping. Walcha is located half way between Sydney and Brisbane and is a great inland alternative route to the Pacific Highway if you travel via Thunderbolts Way through Gloucester from Sydney, it is only 420km, and 523km via Tamworth and on the New England Highway. 

Message from Mayor

At the ExtraOrdinary Meeting held on 9 October 2024 the Councillors elected Clr Glen O'Brien as Deputy Mayor and myself as Mayor for the next two years. I would like to thank Councillors for the faith they have put in us to lead and thank the community for voting in 8 Councillors as caretakers for the next 4 years. I look forward to working on our collaborative and cohesive approach that makes our Council the envy of many.
