About Banoon
Banoon is a small rural locality situated in the North West Slopes region of New South Wales, occupying around 123 square kilometres of agricultural land in the Tamworth Regional Council area. With a population of just 19 people recorded in the 2021 Census, Banoon is one of the region's most sparsely settled localities, characterised by expansive pastoral and mixed-farming properties. The locality sits within the broader Namoi River catchment, surrounded by gently rolling hills and open farmland typical of north-west New South Wales.
Banoon's tiny population reflects its purely agricultural nature, with the land used predominantly for cattle grazing, cropping, and mixed farming. The nearby town of Manilla provides residents with essential services including a supermarket, school, medical centre, and fuel. Tamworth — the region's major hub and home of the famous Country Music Festival — is approximately 60 kilometres to the south-east and offers a full range of shopping, healthcare, and entertainment facilities for those living in and around Banoon.
Banoon falls under postcode 2347 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Tamworth electorate.
