Description

Paramatta is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Narungga and the local government area of the Copper Coast Council.^[3][2][1] Its boundaries were created in January 1999 for “the long established local name.” The name was derived from the Paramatta Mine. In 2014, land was added to the locality from Warburto to “better align postal delivery and to reflect historical associations.”^[1] As of 2014, land within the locality was zoned for agriculture.^[7]
