About Bell

Bell is a small rural locality of 40.5 square kilometres located in New South Wales approximately 30 kilometres from Lithgow and around 130 kilometres from Sydney. With a population of just 44 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, Bell is one of the smaller rural localities in the region, characterised by open farmland and sparse settlement. The locality's locality classification reflects its largely agricultural or natural land use, with properties typically comprising broad-acre farms, grazing land, or bushland holdings.

The surrounding New South Wales countryside offers the quiet rhythms of rural life, with residents relying on Lithgow for shopping, schools, medical services, and community facilities. Like many small localities across regional New South Wales, Bell is part of a broader agricultural community where farming families have worked the land for generations. Those drawn to Bell value the open space, privacy, and connection to the land that rural living provides.

Bell falls under postcode 2786 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Blue Mountains electorate.
