Welcome to
Lockhart Shire Council

Lockhart Shire nestles in the heart of the Riverina and is one of the region’s most productive agricultural and pastoral areas. With a strong pioneering heritage and steeped in history, Lockhart Shire’s main towns and villages include Lockhart, The Rock, Yerong Creek, Pleasant Hills and Milbrulong. Each community has its own unique character and history, and the Shire offers visitors a relaxed country atmosphere steeped in history.

Lockhart is centrally situated 62km southwest of Wagga Wagga, 62km east of Narrandera and 105km north of Albury. The Rock is on the Olympic Highway 25km south of Wagga Wagga with Yerong Creek another 15km down the highway.
