About Clergate

Clergate is a small rural locality in the Central Western Tablelands of New South Wales, situated in the Orange City Council local government area, approximately 10 kilometres north of the regional centre of Orange. The locality is set in the fertile agricultural land typical of the region around Orange, characterised by orchards, vineyards, and grazing properties in the cool-climate tablelands at around 800–900 metres elevation. With a small and dispersed population, Clergate functions as a rural residential and farming area rather than a self-contained township, with residents accessing the full range of services in Orange.

The lifestyle in Clergate is quintessentially rural, with large residential blocks and farming properties offering space, quiet, and the beautiful scenery of the Orange district. Residents enjoy proximity to Orange, one of regional NSW's most vibrant cities, renowned for its fine dining, wine industry, Apple Festival, and strong arts scene. The area is popular with families and rural property seekers who want acreage living close to a well-serviced regional city. The cool climate is ideal for those who enjoy the four seasons, and the surrounding Orange wine region attracts tourism that enriches the broader local economy.

Clergate falls under postcode 2800 and is governed by Orange City Council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Orange electorate.
