Gunnedah, Administrative division in New South Wales, Australia
Gunnedah stretches across the Liverpool Plains between the Nandewar and Great Dividing Ranges, with hills reaching 500 meters above sea level.
The administrative division formed on January 1, 1980, through the merger of the Municipality of Gunnedah and Liverpool Plains Shire for enhanced governance.
The region maintains strong connections to the Gamilaroi Nation, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people representing 12.8 percent of the population.
The administrative area encompasses multiple villages including Curlewis, Breeza, Carroll, Mullaley, Emerald Hill, Tambar Springs, and Kelvin within its boundaries.
The division recorded a population density of 2.5889 people per square kilometer in 2021, reflecting its rural character across the Namoi River valley.
