About Yanco

Yanco is a small rural locality in the Riverina region of New South Wales, situated approximately 20 kilometres west of Leeton in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area. With a population of around 744, the area is best known as the home of the Yanco Agricultural High School, one of New South Wales' premier agricultural boarding schools established in 1893. The flat, irrigated landscape surrounding Yanco is ideal for intensive agriculture including rice, citrus and mixed farming.

The Yanco Agricultural High School remains the focal point of the community, drawing students from across regional NSW and contributing significantly to the local economy and character. The nearby Murrumbidgee River and irrigation channels provide recreational opportunities for fishing and water activities. Yanco's location within the MIA means residents have access to the full services of Leeton, known for its Art Deco architecture and strong Italian-Australian food culture.

Yanco falls under postcode 2703 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Murray electorate.
