About Reno

Reno is a small rural locality in the Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council area of New South Wales, situated approximately 7.8 kilometres north-west of the historic town of Gundagai in the Riverina region. Covering around 89 square kilometres of gently rolling farmland, the locality has a population of approximately 131 residents, primarily on large rural properties. The area was formerly known as Jones Creek and has a history linked to early gold mining activity in the 1800s.

Reno sits in the pastoral heartland of the Riverina, with Gundagai — famous for the legendary Dog on the Tuckerbox monument and its place in Australian folklore — providing essential services including schools, shops, and medical care. The Murrumbidgee River and the surrounding countryside offer beautiful natural scenery, and the Hume Highway running through Gundagai connects the district to Sydney and Melbourne. Reno appeals to those who value rural privacy, wide open spaces, and the heritage-rich character of the southern NSW Riverina.

Reno falls under postcode 2722 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Wagga Wagga electorate.
