The northern rivers paradise at your doorstep

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea, and community. We pay our respects to their elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

A little bit of something
for everyone

Nestled between the fertile valleys of the Clarence, Richmond, and Tweed rivers, the Nothern Rivers is a unique region well known for its World Heritage Rainforests, spectacular coastline, and the famous Cape Byron Headland. Home to family-orientated communities, beachside cafes, delicious local produce, and spectacular waterways,  the Northern Rivers region is only 1.5 hours from Brisbane and 30 minutes from the Gold Coast. 

With many families, couples, and individuals choosing to move to the region, our community continues to thrive, develop and grow. Whether you are looking for a quiet sleepy town by a fresh waterfall,  a suburb with strong family values and excellent school zones, or want a seachange with access to all the cosmopolitan elements of a city,  the  Northern Rivers Region has something for everybody.
