Why Tamworth

Strategically located between Sydney and Brisbane, Tamworth is a dynamic and progressive city, bursting with infrastructure and activity.

Known as Australia’s Country Music Capital, the city has a unique identity, and is home to strong manufacturing, health, education, retail, construction and agricultural industries.

Blueprint 100 is what separates Tamworth from other regional cities in NSW, the strategy providing an overarching roadmap to guide the city of Tamworth and surrounding region towards its vision of a growing to powerhouse population of 100,000 people and the state’s inland capital.

Council's plan for continued economic development is outlined in the Tamworth Tomorrow Economic Development and Investment Strategy, which drills down to enhance the work already underway through Blueprint 100.
