NOONBINNA

Noonbinna is one of the Shire’s smaller village settlements – located 7km south of Cowra. The village lies adjacent to the Olympic Highway, which is part of the State Highway System and as a result enjoys excellent access to the nearby Cowra Township. The village is effectively a small enclave surrounded by trees but with a distant mountain range as a backdrop to the western horizon. Like nearby Billimari, Noonbinna’s history lies with its connections to the railway. A prominent feature of the Noonbinna landscape is a large grain handling facility, which once accommodated bulk wheat deliveries for rail transportation.

The former Noonbinna School House, sitting prominently within a Crown Reserve, serves as a reminder that the village was once a self-sufficient little community; however, residents are now reliant on Cowra for access to commercial services, community facilities and public recreation. Affordable property and the proximity to Cowra, makes Noonbinna an attractive proposition for new residents and in recent years, the village has experienced some new housing growth.
