About Alleena
Alleena is a remote rural locality in the central-west of New South Wales, situated in the Bland Shire and Central Western region near West Wyalong in the Riverina–Western Plains transition zone. The locality covers 269.6 square kilometres of open cereal farming and grazing country and recorded a population of 60 at the 2021 census, reflecting a sparse agricultural community on the flat to gently undulating plains. West Wyalong, the nearest service town approximately 20 kilometres away, provides the locality's postcode 2671 and serves as the commercial hub for the surrounding Bland Shire agricultural district. The landscape is characteristic of central NSW's golden grain belt — expansive wheat, canola and barley paddocks stretching to wide horizons under big open skies.
Alleena's community is engaged primarily in broadacre grain farming and sheep grazing on the fertile plains of the central-west, with the seasonal agricultural calendar defining the rhythm of life in this productive farming district. West Wyalong (approximately 20 km) provides supermarkets, schools, medical care and essential services for surrounding properties, while Parkes (approximately 100 km east) is the nearest larger town with expanded services. The Bland Shire's strong agricultural identity, community sporting clubs and classic NSW country town culture define the social life of residents. The CSIRO Parkes Observatory — the famous Dish — is within reasonable driving distance and is a popular regional attraction.
Alleena falls under postcode 2671 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Orange electorate.
