About Milvale
Milvale is a tiny rural locality in the Hilltops Council area of central-western New South Wales, positioned roughly midway between Young (43 km east) and Temora (42 km west). With just 89 residents recorded at the 2021 census across a vast 296 square kilometres of agricultural land, it is one of the most sparsely populated localities in the state. The area sits on the traditional Country of the Wiradjuri people and has been shaped by pastoralism and grain farming since the 19th century.
Life in Milvale centres on farming and the close-knit connections of a tight rural community. The Stockinbingal-Parkes freight rail line passes through the locality, though no passenger services operate. Residents depend on Young and Temora for schools, retail, and health services. The locality appeals to those seeking a deeply rural, agricultural way of life far from the noise of city living.
Milvale falls under postcode 2594 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Cootamundra electorate.
