Maitland Area
Maitland sits on the Hunter River and has grown from a river port into a thriving regional city with a mix of heritage architecture and modern amenities. Nearby are rural villages, vineyards and historic sites. Walka Water Works, a 19th‑century pumping station surrounded by a lake and walking tracks, is a popular recreation spot. Locals quietly enjoy rowing along the river to picnic under willow trees and explore a disused gaol tucked away behind old hospital grounds where echoes of colonial times linger.
Maitland City Council Council has an approximate area of 390 km².
It is comprised of parts of the Maitland state electorate.
