Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council is located between the ACT and the coast and covers more than 5,000 square kilometres. Our natural environment is as diverse as our residents with unique plants and animals that can't be found anywhere else. The traditional owners of the region include the Ngambri, Ngarigu, Ngunnawal and Walbunja Aboriginal people. This is a snapshot of our region and the people that make it a fantastic place to live.
