About Peel

Peel is a quiet rural locality in the Bathurst Region of New South Wales, situated approximately 20 kilometres northwest of Bathurst in the Central Tablelands. With a population of around 256 people, the area is characterised by open rolling farmland, grazing paddocks, and a peaceful country atmosphere typical of the Central Tablelands. The locality takes its name from the Peel River, and the surrounding landscape reflects the broad pastoral heritage of the greater Bathurst region. Peel sits within the Bathurst Regional Council local government area.

Life in Peel is defined by a rural, semi-rural lifestyle with residents typically commuting to Bathurst for employment, schooling, shopping, and services. The Central Tablelands climate brings warm summers and cool, occasionally frosty winters, well suited to the mixed farming and grazing activities that dominate the local landscape. Bathurst, just a short drive away, provides access to a full range of urban amenities including Charles Sturt University, hospitals, retail, and the famous Mount Panorama motor racing circuit. Peel offers a quiet alternative for those seeking a country lifestyle within easy reach of a regional city.
