WELCOME TO TAMWORTH
Tamworth is a vibrant and growing city.
It is the largest inland NSW city west of the Great Dividing Range, located 400km from Sydney and 600km from Brisbane on the inland corridor route.
Tamworth is such an appealing city that it was named by Traveller magazine as one of Australia's "perfect" towns.
In addition to world-class country music, Tamworth is a dynamic and progressive city boasting lifestyle, education and employment opportunities the envy of its city counterparts.
Add to this its natural beauty and an enviable wining, dining and cafe culture and it’s easy to see why so many people are making the move.
In addition to being known globally for its country music festival, Tamworth also has a thriving commercial heart offering wide-ranging employment opportunities. Healthcare, education, construction and retail are all buoyant industries and ensure a sound employment base in this prosperous regional city.
Tamworth enjoys a wide and very affordable range of housing options. With a median house price of only $308,756 – you’ll spend considerably less and pay much more off your home than by renting a small and cramped 2-bedroom apartment in Sydney.
