Cobar, Mining administrative center in New South Wales, Australia
The Cobar administrative division extends across 44,065 square kilometers of land in the Orana region of New South Wales, containing multiple rural communities.
The establishment of Cobar Shire in 1884 marked the beginning of structured local governance for this mineral-rich region of New South Wales.
The local government structure includes twelve elected councilors who represent different community interests and make decisions about regional development and services.
Residents and visitors can access council services at the administration building or contact the Planning Department through phone number 02 6836 5888.
The population density of 0.1 residents per square kilometer makes this administrative division less populated than Denmark despite covering a larger territory.
