For more than a century, Leeton is known as the Heart of Australia’s Food Bowl. It is a title we are proud of and one we strive to continue to work hard to maintain.
We are also proud that our Shire is much more than that. It is a hub for innovative growers and manufacturers, an incubator for small business, a provider of quality education, and a new home for migrants and refugees. Most of all, we are a forward-thinking community that embraces opportunity.

Leeton's history is rich and diverse, encompassing both Indigenous and heritage narratives. The traditional custodians of the land are the Wiradjuri people, with a deep connection to the region's landscapes.
In the early 20th century, Leeton was established as part of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Scheme, transforming the area into a thriving agricultural hub. The town's Art Deco architecture stands as a testament to its past, reflecting the prosperity of the irrigation era.
Leeton acknowledges its Indigenous heritage while celebrating its pioneering roots, creating a unique blend of cultures that defines its identity today.
Leeton offers a diverse range of recreational activities and cultural pursuits.
Sports enthusiasts can engage in cricket, rugby, soccer, AFL, Netball and many other sports. Nature lovers can explore the picturesque Fivebough Wetlands or the nearby Murrumbidgee Valley National Park, perfect for birdwatching, hiking and picnics.
The Roxy Theatre stands as a cultural gem and upon its reopening in 2024 will be hosting film screenings and live performances. The vibrant local arts scene is celebrated through galleries and community events, while annual festivals like the Art Deco Festival showcase the town's lively spirit.
Leeton's blend of sports, nature, and arts creates a well-rounded and engaging cultural experience.
