About Piallaway
Piallaway is a small rural locality in the Liverpool Plains Shire of north-western New South Wales, situated in the broader Quirindi area of the Upper Hunter and New England region. The locality encompasses approximately 295 square kilometres of rich agricultural land on the Liverpool Plains, an area renowned for some of the most fertile black soil farming country in Australia. With a small resident population, Piallaway is a quiet farming community embedded within one of the state's most productive grain and cotton-growing regions.
The Liverpool Plains setting means Piallaway is surrounded by broad, flat agricultural landscapes dominated by cereal crops, cotton, and cattle grazing. The town of Quirindi, approximately 20–30 kilometres from the locality's centre, provides essential services including schools, shops, and access to the NSW TrainLink rail network. The New England region's temperate climate and open rural character define life in Piallaway, with the Warrumbungle and Liverpool Ranges providing a scenic backdrop to the plains.
Piallaway falls under postcode 2342 and is governed by the Gunnedah Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Parkes, while state elections fall under the Tamworth electorate.
