Vittoria, New South Wales

Vittoria is a locality in the Bathurst Region of New South Wales, Australia, between Bathurst and Orange and north of Blayney.[2] It had a population of 62 people as of the 2016 census.[1] During a decentralisation drive in the early-mid 1970s, the New South Wales government proposed constructing a new city here, planned for 110,000 people, and moving several state government departments to Vittoria from Sydney.[3] Only the Central Mapping Authority ever made the move, in 1976, before the programme was scrapped.
