About postcode 2842

Postcode 2842 covers 3 NSW suburbs: Mendooran, Mollyan and Yarragrin. Mendooran is the largest, with 90% of the postcode's G-NAF addresses. Most of its addresses fall in Warrumbungle LGA. Fewer than 10 new bonds with a known rent were lodged here in 2025, so no rent median is given. Police recorded 97 criminal incidents in postcode 2842 in the 12 months to December 2025, against 86 the year before. That is a count, not a rate: it is not adjusted for residents or visitors, and a busy centre or transport hub can account for much of it. Sources: NSW Fair Trading rental bond lodgements, calendar 2025; BOCSAR postcode data, Jan 2025 – Dec 2025; G-NAF localities.
