Agriculture has played a major role throughout Goulburn’s history and is still a major industry in today’s economy. The Goulburn Mulwaree LGA covers a land area of more than 3,200 square kilometres which is largely used for agriculture, particularly sheep grazing, with some cattle grazing and boutique industries.

With average annual rainfall of 665.8mm, Goulburn benefits from secure water supply drawn from Pejar and Sooley dams, and Rossi Weir, in addition to the Highlands Source pipeline. This 80km pipeline brings water to Goulburn from the Wingecarribee Reservoir and secures water supply well into the future.

This strong regional economy, proximity to major capital cities, and temperate climate has fuelled strong population growth in the area. The Goulburn Mulwaree population is forecast to top 33,153 in 2023 and hit 38,169 by 2036.
