About Perthville

Perthville is a small rural locality on the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, situated approximately 10 kilometres south of the regional city of Bathurst, within Bathurst Regional Council. With a population of 567 across 38 square kilometres, the locality has evolved from an independent settlement into a quiet satellite community of Bathurst over recent decades as road improvements have improved connectivity. The median household income of around $49,000 reflects a modest, working rural demographic typical of the surrounding tablelands.

Perthville is historically notable for its large convent of the Sisters of St Joseph, founded in 1872, which once housed a prominent girls' boarding school and remains a significant heritage landmark in the community. The proximity to Bathurst — approximately a 15-minute drive — gives residents access to the regional city's shopping centres, hospitals, schools, and the world-famous Mount Panorama motor racing circuit. The surrounding landscape features rolling pastureland and open tablelands scenery, offering a peaceful semi-rural lifestyle within easy reach of major services.

Perthville 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.
