About Boorabee Park

Boorabee Park is a small rural locality in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, set within the hinterland south-west of Kyogle in the Kyogle Council area. It sits about 40 kilometres west of Lismore in a scenic valley landscape typical of the Border Ranges foothills. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 146 residents across approximately 43 square kilometres, making it a very sparsely settled rural community. The median taxable income for the postcode area is modest, reflecting the region's rural and smallholding character.

The area is characterised by verdant subtropical hinterland, with properties ranging from hobby farms to larger cattle and timber enterprises. The nearby town of Kyogle provides essential services including schools, shops, and health care, while Lismore — a regional centre — offers broader facilities around 40 kilometres to the east. Boorabee Park attracts those seeking quiet, green surrounds and an alternative lifestyle away from the coast, with the spectacular Border Ranges National Park and its rainforest walking tracks accessible in the wider region.

Boorabee Park falls under postcode 2480 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
