About Stanborough

Stanborough is a small rural locality in the Inverell Shire of northern New South Wales, situated in the New England region approximately 26 kilometres south-west of Inverell on the New England Tablelands. Covering approximately 96.6 square kilometres, the locality is farming and grazing country typical of the greater Inverell district, where mixed agriculture, cattle, and sheep operations dominate the landscape. With a 2021 Census population of 85 residents, Stanborough is sparsely settled, with large rural holdings and a quiet, working agricultural community.

The surrounding Inverell Shire is one of the major agricultural districts of northern NSW, known for its cattle and sheep grazing, cereal and grain production, and the area's long association with sapphire and tin mining. Inverell town, the nearest service centre, provides supermarkets, schools, a hospital, and the Inverell Regional Airport for connections to Sydney and Brisbane. The New England Tablelands setting gives Stanborough a cooler climate than the NSW coast, with crisp winters and warm summers suited to broad-acre farming. Bundarra Road connects the locality to Inverell and the broader New England road network.

Stanborough falls under postcode 2360 and is governed by the Inverell Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Parkes, while state elections fall under the Northern Tablelands electorate.
