Hay, Administrative region in Riverina, New South Wales, Australia

The Hay Shire extends across 11,326 square kilometers of land in southwestern New South Wales, bordered by three major highways and the Murrumbidgee River.

The establishment of Hay Shire occurred on January 1, 1965, through the merger of the Municipality of Hay and the surrounding Waradgery Shire.

The region maintains strong Aboriginal heritage with 8.3 percent of residents identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander according to recent census data.

Agricultural operations in Hay focus on merino wool production, with 26 sheep studs operating on the Riverine Plains and multiple crops under irrigation systems.

The local rice receiver depot demonstrates the agricultural significance of the region by maintaining the capacity to dry 32,000 tonnes of rice simultaneously.
