About Mebul

Mebul is a small rural locality in the Mid-Western Regional Council area of New South Wales, covering over 100 square kilometres of open pastoral country north of Mudgee. With a population of 61 residents in the 2021 Census, it is a sparsely populated farming district characterised by sheep and cattle grazing on large rural properties. The locality sits within the federal electorate of Parkes and state electorate of Dubbo, reflecting its position in the agricultural heartland of central-western NSW. Large areas of the locality are reserve land, comprising roughly 26% of its total area.

Mebul offers a genuinely remote rural lifestyle, appealing to farmers, landholders, and those seeking wide open spaces far from urban centres. The nearest significant town is Mudgee, approximately 40-50 kilometres to the south-east, which provides schooling, shopping, hospitals, and services. The Mudgee region is celebrated for its wine industry, and Mebul sits amid the broader wine country hinterland. Road access is typical of rural NSW, with unsealed roads connecting properties to the regional highway network.

Mebul falls under postcode 2852 and is governed by the Mid-Western Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Parkes, while state elections fall under the Dubbo electorate.
