Q4 2025

The median house sale price in Mount Mitchell sits at $462,000 in the December 2025 quarter, broadly flat year-on-year.

Aboriginal Land Council

Aboriginal land in this area is administered by the Glen Innes Local Aboriginal Land Council.

Local Aboriginal Land Councils are statutory bodies under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983, responsible for land claims and land management for their members.
