About McKellars Park
McKellars Park is a rural locality situated in the Central Tablelands region of New South Wales, within the City of Lithgow local government area and bearing the postcode 2790. Geographically, the area is characterized by undulating topography, native bushland, and open pastoral land typical of the western slopes of the Blue Mountains. Due to its remote and largely rural setting, the population is very small, consisting primarily of scattered residential properties, rural holdings, and agricultural enterprises.
Local life in McKellars Park is defined by quiet, country-style living with minimal commercial development. Residents rely primarily on nearby urban centers such as Lithgow for essential services, employment, retail, education, and healthcare. The locality offers a secluded environment with opportunities for outdoor activities, surrounded by the natural landscapes and state forests that dominate the wider Lithgow LGA.
Historically, the broader region's development was spurred by pastoral settlement, coal mining, and the expansion of the Main Western railway line during the 19th and early 20th centuries. While McKellars Park itself remains a quiet residential and rural enclave rather than a commercial hub, it shares the rich industrial and European heritage of the Lithgow district, reflecting the gradual subdivision of historical land grants into modern rural-residential properties.
