About Collombatti

Collombatti is a large rural locality on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, covering nearly 200 square kilometres of hinterland country within the Kempsey Shire local government area. With a population of 681 residents spread thinly across its vast rural landscape, the locality has a very low settlement density and a median household income of around $39,700, consistent with the agricultural character of the broader Macleay Valley region. It falls within the federal division of Cowper and the state electorate of Oxley.

The North Coast railway line passes through Collombatti, though the station that once served the locality operated only between 1919 and 1974 and no longer exists today. Residents rely primarily on private vehicles to access services in nearby Kempsey, which provides schools, hospitals, and retail, as well as access to the Pacific Highway corridor. The locality suits those drawn to a quiet rural lifestyle in the scenic Mid North Coast hinterland, with rolling farmland, riverside flats, and a strong connection to the rhythms of the Macleay Valley.

Collombatti falls under postcode 2440 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Oxley electorate.
