About Hilltops Council and the South West Slopes
Hilltops Council was established on May 12, 2016, and includes the former council areas of Boorowa, Harden and Young in New South Wales. Supporting over 20,000 people, Council's highest priority as a new council is to ensure continued and consistent delivery of the many local services valued by these communities.
Hilltops Council is located within the South West Slopes region of NSW which runs from the lower inland slopes of the Great Dividing Range extending from north of Cowra through southern NSW into western Victoria. This is a beautiful part of NSW with wineries, vineyards, cherry orchards and gourmet food shops, just some of the local attractions that draw tourists to the region each year. And located only one and a half hours from Canberra, Young offers a great country lifestyle, just a hop, skip and a jump from the city.
