Employment in Uralla Shire
A booming hospitality sector, two foundries, and metal fabrication businesses account for a large proportion of employment in Uralla. As Uralla is situated ideally on the New England Highway half way between Sydney and Brisbane, tourism contributes greatly to the economy and many local businesses take advantage of it by remaining open for longer and on weekends.
Many professionals work from home and enjoy the strong sense of community and historical character in the Uralla and Bundarra townships. Uralla is situated only an easy 20 minute drive or bus ride from Armidale, and many people choose to take the short daily commute to work.
