About Springrange

Springrange is a sparsely settled rural locality in southern New South Wales, situated approximately 28 kilometres north of Canberra's CBD (Civic) within the Yass Valley local government area. With a population of around 498 residents, the community is spread across rolling agricultural land and open woodland on the southern tablelands, within the broader Canberra region. Properties are predominantly large rural holdings used for sheep, cattle, and mixed farming, giving the area a quiet and unhurried character.

The locality sits close to the Barton Highway, which links the area to both Canberra and the historic town of Yass to the north — making it a practical choice for those seeking a rural lifestyle within easy reach of the capital's employment, shopping, and services. There are no commercial services within Springrange itself; residents rely on Yass or the ACT for groceries, schooling, and medical care. The surrounding countryside is attractive for horse properties and hobby farms, and the proximity to the Murrumbateman wine region adds a regional lifestyle dimension.

Springrange falls under postcode 2618 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Yerrabi electorate.
