About Tumut Shire:

From the rugged subalpine terrain of Kosciuszko National Park and Bogong Mountain Range to the edge of the Murrumbidgee River plains, Tumut Shire exhibits a great diversity of landform and landuse.

While sheep and cattle grazing and horticultural production continue to be important to the economy, an increase in the area of plantation forests, dams and National Park has boosted the importance of timber production, hydro-electricity generation, recreational activities and tourism to Tumut Shire.

Tumut Shire covers an area of approximately 375,200 hectares straddling the boundary between the south-western slopes and the Southern Tablelands of NSW. More >
