Twenty Forests crime statistics

About Twenty Forests

Twenty Forests is a rural locality situated within the Oberon Council local government area in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales (postcode 2795). Characterized by its high-altitude topography, the area features a landscape dominated by undulating hills, native eucalypt bushland, and extensive pine plantations. Given its sparse population, the locality is primarily categorized by agricultural land use and forestry, contributing to the broader regional economy of the Oberon district.

The area is defined by its quiet, secluded lifestyle, with minimal public infrastructure or amenities located directly within its boundaries. Residents typically rely on the nearby town of Oberon for essential services, including retail, healthcare, and educational facilities. Historically, Twenty Forests and the surrounding Oberon region were developed to support the timber industry, which remains a cornerstone of the local heritage. Settlement in the area followed the broader European expansion into the Blue Mountains and Central Tablelands during the 19th century, transitioning from early pastoral activities to the intensive silviculture and agriculture that characterize the modern landscape.
