Welcome to Chinchilla

Situated less than 300 kilometres from Brisbane, this small, but thriving community has progressed from a rural based economy reliant mainly on grain crops to the progressive, dynamic region where coal and gas exploration and power station development projects go hand-in-hand with extensive feedlots, cotton and broad-acre farming.

The Chinchilla region is a vibrant, friendly place in which to live and work, with a wide range of activities, events and attractions that are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.  The town of Chinchilla itself boasts many services and amenities, while retaining its rustic charm and character.

Nestled in the heart of the Western Downs and traversed by the Warrego Highway, Chinchilla is the ideal stop-over on your way to the Outback, the gateway to touring the region or a really “beaut” place to live.

So, come on  … take your time and browse through the many delights of the Chinchilla region.
