Armidale Regional Council represents a local government area in the New England and Northern Tablelands regions of New South Wales, Australia. The region extends primarily eastward from the city of Armidale through farming districts to the gorges and escarpments that mark the edge of the Northern Tablelands. One of six LGAs participating in the CRC’s ‘Hub Club’, Armidale CC will collaborate in projects under Research Program 1 around the creation of smart, sustainable food hubs, with the long-term aim of developing such a precinct in the Armidale region.
