About The Angle

The Angle is a small rural locality in the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council area of New South Wales, located approximately 4 kilometres south-east of Queanbeyan and around 12 kilometres south-east of the Canberra CBD in the Australian Capital Territory border region. Covering an area of approximately 22.6 square kilometres, the locality sits in the rolling pastoral tablelands of southern New South Wales, with elevations typical of the broader Capital Region. With 86 residents counted in the 2021 Census, The Angle is a sparsely populated rural fringe locality that benefits from its position close to both Queanbeyan and Canberra.

The locality is characterised by grazing properties and open farmland typical of the Southern Tablelands, with the Queanbeyan River corridor and nearby rural ridgelines forming the natural setting. Residents enjoy relatively easy access to the full range of services in Queanbeyan, including shopping centres, schools, and medical facilities, as well as the extensive amenities of Canberra just beyond the ACT border. The Angle is well suited to those seeking a quiet rural lifestyle while remaining within a short drive of one of Australia's most liveable capital cities.
