Gilgandra is a country town in Central West NSW, about an hour north of Dubbo and an easy five-hour drive from Sydney. Sitting at the crossroads of the Newell, Oxley and Castlereagh Highways, it’s a natural meeting point for people, produce and freight moving across the state. Surrounded by broadacre farming country and positioned along a key inland transport route, Gilgandra sits within the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone and is close to the Narromine to Narrabri section of Inland Rail—making it a strategic location for industries linked to freight, energy and logistics.
Plenty of businesses already call Gilgandra home—from ag-based operations and freight companies to builders, fabricators and mechanics. You’ll also find established civil and trade services, health and community providers, and a main street filled with family-owned retailers, cafés and everyday essentials. Being close to Dubbo means businesses benefit from regional infrastructure without giving up the breathing space and affordability that comes with setting up in a smaller town. There’s a strong sense of community and collaboration here, and businesses tend to grow with the town—not just in it. To support the region’s growth and attract new industry, Gilgandra Shire Council has developed the Gilgandra Industrial Estate across two key sites.
Currently there are limited large lot opportunities within Gilgandra’s industrial zoned area. The expansion and redevelopment of the Gilgandra Industrial Estate across two sites ensures future industrial opportunity remains competitive with neighbouring towns including: Forbes, Parkes, Dubbo and Narromine.
Gilgandra Industrial Estates are in a highly favourable location for industrial businesses thanks to its strategic positioning, supportive infrastructure, and forward-thinking local planning. Situated at the junction of three major highways—the Newell, Oxley and Castlereagh—Gilgandra offers seamless freight and logistics connectivity across NSW and beyond. Just 65km from the regional hub of Dubbo, it gives businesses access to a larger workforce, major transport terminals, a regional airport, and essential services.
As part of the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone and located along the Inland Rail corridor, Gilgandra is projected to benefit from a wave of regional investment. With Council-led planning already unlocking development-ready land, a strong local economy anchored by agriculture, and a community that backs innovation and industry, Gilgandra delivers big potential for businesses looking to scale, diversify or establish a regional base.
The Gilgandra Industrial Estate is a two-site development created to encourage business growth in Gilgandra and central west NSW. Each precinct has been planned with different industries in mind, offering options for a range of operators.
The first site is located in Gilgandra’s established industrial area along Naden Drive. It features smaller, fully serviced lots that are well suited to general industrial use—ideal for trades, contractors, service-based businesses, and small-scale operations. This precinct already supports a variety of enterprises working across mechanical and fabrication services, materials supply, and recycling. It’s a practical, well-connected space that caters to those who need good vehicle access, room to move, and the flexibility to grow.
The second site is a larger greenfield parcel on the edge of town. Recently rezoned for general industrial use, this area has been set aside for future development and is aimed at larger-scale industry—whether that’s major logistics, infrastructure, or manufacturing projects that need more space and long-term potential.
