The Harden-Murrumburrah District is a productive agricultural region, specialising in the growing of wheat, canola and other grains, fine wool, fat lambs, beef, ducks and pigs. The Cunningar Graincorp collection facility is the closest wheat and canola accumulation point to the Australian eastern seaboard.

Wheat and canola can be delivered via rail to the Port Kembla export facility with 24 hours. Stone fruits and allied processing also feature significantly in the region.

As a transport hub location, Harden-Murrumburrah sees large traffic flows and is a main freight corridor to Sydney, Melbourne, and West to Adelaide. Unsurprisingly the town has large freight companies using the town as a base.

With a twice daily passenger rail service to Sydney and Melbourne, this rail corridor is also an important freight hub.

Our twin towns provide a great opportunity for businesses to establish themselves or relocate given we are in the major transport corridor from Sydney to Melbourne and in such close proximity to Canberra.

There are also many opportunities for new business within the area with commercial rent being some of the lowest in the state.

Major projects including the Harden Golf Club redevelopment and the new Murrumburrah-Harden Hospital show strong investment within the region of both the public and private sectors.
