For more than a century, Leeton is known as the Heart of Australia’s Food Bowl. It is a title we are proud of and one we strive to continue to work hard to maintain.

We are also proud that our Shire is much more than that. It is a hub for innovative growers and manufacturers, an incubator for small business, a provider of quality education, and a new home for migrants and refugees. Most of all, we are a forward-thinking community that embraces opportunity.
