About Mount Panorama

Mount Panorama is a locality in the Bathurst Regional Council area of New South Wales, situated on the western outskirts of Bathurst, approximately 200 kilometres west of Sydney. The hill is officially dual-named Mount Panorama/Wahluu, acknowledging its significance to the Wiradjuri people. With a population of 101 at the 2021 Census across just under 7 square kilometres, the locality is a small residential area set around one of Australia's most famous landmarks — the Mount Panorama motor racing circuit.

Mount Panorama is best known as the home of the Bathurst 1000, Australia's most prestigious motor race, held each October since the 1960s. The 6.2-kilometre street circuit doubles as public road when not in use for racing, and several residences are accessible only from the circuit itself. The locality is also home to the National Motor Racing Museum and sits near Charles Sturt University's Bathurst campus. Residents enjoy sweeping views over the Bathurst plains and ready access to the city's shops, schools, and services, while living alongside a piece of Australian sporting history.

Mount Panorama falls under postcode 2795 and is governed by the Bathurst Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Calare, while state elections fall under the Orange electorate.
