About Beaumont

Beaumont is a small rural locality in the City of Shoalhaven on New South Wales's South Coast, situated approximately 18 kilometres north of Nowra and 178 kilometres south of Sydney. Nestled in the foothills between Kangaroo Valley and the Nowra coastal plain at an elevation of around 324 metres, Beaumont covers just over 17 square kilometres and is home to a compact community of 117 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The locality's hinterland setting among the escarpment country of the Illawarra and South Coast ranges gives it a distinctly rural character.

Beaumont is surrounded by the dramatic escarpment scenery of the Southern Highlands, with Cambewarra Mountain's sweeping lookout over the Shoalhaven River and coast just to the south, and the heritage village of Kangaroo Valley within easy reach to the north-west. The landscape is defined by farming properties, hobby farms, and dense bushland. Residents rely on Nowra for shopping, healthcare, and schooling, while Morton National Park and the nearby South Coast beaches offer outstanding outdoor recreation, making Beaumont an appealing choice for those seeking a quiet rural retreat within reach of both Sydney and the coast.

Beaumont falls under postcode 2577 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kiama electorate.
