The arms were granted on July 19, 1984.

The green ground represents the verdant country and the wavy silver chevron charged with a red bugle horn the Hunter river which bends at Muswellbrook forming a chevron. The red bugle horn is taken from the arms used by John Hunter (1737-1821) second Governor of New South Wales.
