About Coramba

Coramba is a small historic town in the City of Coffs Harbour local government area in northern New South Wales, located approximately 25 kilometres north-west of Coffs Harbour in the Orara Valley. The town recorded a population of 817 at the 2021 Census and covers around 54 square kilometres of hilly, sub-tropical terrain flanked by Coramba Nature Reserve. With a median household income of approximately $42,184, the community is modest in size but rich in character, with a heritage that includes gold mining in the 1890s and a now-closed railway station that once served the North Coast railway line.

Despite its small size, Coramba retains a surprising range of local amenities including a pub with accommodation, post office, petrol station, café and general store, art gallery, hairdresser, and a historic community hall that hosts monthly street markets. Coramba Public School serves local families, and the Orara Valley Rugby League Club — competing in the Group 2 competition — anchors community sport at the local sportsground. Coramba Nature Reserve protects a pocket of sub-tropical rainforest on the town's doorstep, making it a pleasant base for nature lovers, while Coffs Harbour's shops, hospital, and beaches are around a 30-minute drive.

Coramba falls under postcode 2450 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Coffs Harbour electorate.
