Keera crime statistics

About Keera

Keera is a rural locality situated in the New England and North West region of New South Wales, within the Gwydir Shire local government area and carrying the postcode 2404. Geographically, the area is characterised by undulating plains, river valleys, and agricultural lands typical of the North West Slopes. Demographically, Keera supports a very small population, with the vast majority of residents engaged in primary production, particularly broadacre cropping and livestock grazing.

Due to its remote and sparsely populated nature, Keera has minimal local commercial amenities. Residents rely on nearby regional service hubs such as Bingara and Warialda for retail, healthcare, education, and professional services. The local infrastructure primarily consists of rural residential properties, agricultural holdings, and a network of local roads facilitating the transport of regional produce.

The history of Keera is closely tied to the pastoral expansion of the 19th century, when European settlers established large pastoral leases along the region's waterways. The area's traditional custodians are the Kamilaroi people, who inhabited the region for thousands of years prior to European colonization. Historic homesteads, travelling stock routes, and remnants of early agricultural infrastructure remain scattered throughout the district, reflecting the enduring pastoral heritage of the Gwydir region.
