About Berrigal
Berrigal is a very small rural locality in north-western New South Wales, located in the Northern Tablelands region approximately 50 kilometres north-east of Narrabri within postcode 2390. Covering around 306 square kilometres of undulating agricultural and grazing land, the locality is part of the federal Division of Parkes and the state electorate of Northern Tablelands. The 2021 census counted just 39 residents, placing Berrigal among the most sparsely populated localities in New South Wales.
The local economy is driven by broadacre cropping, beef and sheep grazing, and cotton farming typical of the Namoi Valley region. Narrabri, the nearest major service town, provides the full range of daily necessities including supermarkets, hospitals, schools, and government services, as well as the Australia Telescope Compact Array operated by CSIRO — a landmark of scientific significance in the region. For residents of Berrigal, private vehicle ownership is essential; the vast paddocks, wide skies, and strong farming community define the lifestyle of this quiet outback locality.
Berrigal falls under postcode 2390 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Northern Tablelands electorate.
