Retirement Villages Riverina

Why consider retirement living in Riverina

Centred on the Murrumbidgee River, the Riverina region of NSW is famous for its agriculture, supplying over 25% of NSW’s fruit and vegetables. Perhaps surprisingly though, aged and health care is actually the area’s largest employment sector. While Griffith and Wagga Wagga are the major cities of the region, it reaches across townships as far as Bland, Coolamon, Cootamundra, Gundagai, Hay, Junee, Leeton, Narrandera, Temora and Tumut. There are a particularly wide range of retirement villages in Wagga Wagga, though the entire area is well-catered for by the Murrumbidgee Local Health District.

  • Population (as at 2022): 165000
  • 86% Australian citizens and 19% aged 65 or older
  • Summer average temps 14°C min to 31°C max
  • Winter average temps 3°C min to 14°C max
  • Sydney and Melbourne under 5 hours by major highways. Train links to Wagga Wagga daily. Major regional airport.
