Queanbeyan, Regional administrative center in New South Wales, Australia.
Queanbeyan spans across 172 square kilometers in southeastern New South Wales, bordered by the Australian Capital Territory and intersected by the Queanbeyan River.
The area transformed from an Aboriginal settlement to a European township in 1838, receiving its name from the indigenous word Quinbean, meaning clear waters.
The Queanbeyan Performing Arts Centre presents regular theater productions and hosts community events that reflect the region's artistic development.
The city maintains three public high schools, a district hospital, and regular bus connections to Canberra through an integrated transportation network.
The Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council emerged in 2016 through the merger of two local governments, creating a larger administrative entity in New South Wales.
