Parkes, Administrative division in New South Wales, Australia.
The Parkes electoral division covers 406,755 square kilometers encompassing multiple local councils and shires across rural New South Wales regions.
The electoral division of Parkes, established in 1901, bears the name of Sir Henry Parkes, a fundamental figure in Australian federation.
Each year, the region maintains strong agricultural traditions while supporting local art galleries, historical societies, and community development programs.
The division provides essential government services through multiple local councils, including Broken Hill City Council and Central Darling Shire Council.
The electoral boundaries of Parkes underwent significant changes for implementation following the 2022 federal election, reshaping regional representation.
