About Coneac

Coneac is a small rural locality in the Mid-Coast Council local government area of New South Wales, situated in the Gloucester Valley within the Manning River catchment region. It lies approximately 8 kilometres west of the township of Gloucester at the foot of the Barrington Tops plateau, in a valley framed by the Mograni and Barrington ranges. The area falls within postcode 2422, which encompasses the broader Gloucester district, and supports a very small residential population in a predominantly agricultural and pastoral setting.

The Gloucester Valley is celebrated for its scenic beauty, surrounded by national park wilderness, and Coneac benefits from this character — offering a quiet rural lifestyle within a short drive of the services of Gloucester town. The broader district is known for quality Angus beef production and dairy farming on rich alluvial flats, and the rugged peaks of the Barrington Tops are a draw for bushwalkers, campers, and nature lovers. Access to larger regional centres such as Taree (approximately 85 kilometres) and Newcastle (approximately 175 kilometres) is via the Bucketts Way and Pacific Highway.

Coneac falls under postcode 2422 and is governed by the Mid-Coast Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Lyne, while state elections fall under the Upper Hunter electorate.
