The Mid-Western Regional Council is a local government area in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia. It is located approximately 3 hours north-west of Sydney. The region was settled in 1821 some 6 years after Cox built the first road across the Blue Mountains. The first town, Mudgee, was officially gazetted in 1838. The discovery of gold in Gulgong in 1870 brought a large influx of settlers into the region and corresponding construction.
