Moree Plains Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan

Our greatest asset in Moree is our wonderful people, who have great pride in this town and find it a rewarding place to live, work and play. Home to the Kamilaroi people, our region is made up of a diverse group of people, with 80 different nationalities all calling Moree home.

With plenty of warm, sunny weather on the cards, and most things within a five kilometre radius of the CBD, you can fit plenty of leisure activities into your day.

Moree is also well resourced by medical and aged care facilities, with three Medical Centres, two pharmacies, dentists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, psychologists and optometrists in town.
