About Pleasant Hills

Pleasant Hills is a small village in the Riverina district of New South Wales, located within the Lockhart Shire approximately 26 kilometres west of Henty and 85 kilometres north of Albury. Established in the 1890s (originally known as Munyabla), the village sits within a productive agricultural region and recorded a 2021 Census population of 127 people. Despite its modest size, Pleasant Hills maintains a notable collection of well-preserved heritage buildings and a strong community identity.

The village retains several historic structures still in active use, including the Pleasant Hills Public School built in 1891, a Lutheran Church constructed from wattle and daub in 1888, a community hall from 1912, and the Pleasant Hills Community Hotel built between 1917 and 1918. Once connected by the Rand branch railway line — now long closed — residents today rely on private vehicles for travel to Henty, Lockhart, or Albury for shopping and services. Pleasant Hills suits those seeking a quiet rural lifestyle in a historically rich Riverina community.

Pleasant Hills falls under postcode 2658 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wagga Wagga electorate.
