About Willbriggie

Willbriggie is a small rural community in the Riverina region of New South Wales, located within the City of Griffith local government area approximately 16 kilometres north of Darlington Point and 17 kilometres south of Hanwood. The locality lies in the heart of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, surrounded by some of Australia's most productive irrigated agricultural land. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 127 residents.

The community's identity is closely tied to the surrounding irrigation agriculture, with the area supporting the vineyards, orchards, and broad-acre farming typical of the wider Griffith region. A grain silo stands as a local landmark of the community's longstanding agricultural heritage, recalling the days when Willbriggie had its own railway station on the Hay Line. With the railway long since closed, residents rely on private vehicles to reach the city of Griffith and its full range of services, shops, and facilities.

Willbriggie falls under postcode 2680 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray electorate.
