About Duck Creek

Duck Creek is a small rural locality in northern New South Wales, situated in the Richmond Valley area approximately 30 kilometres north-west of Casino and around 60 kilometres from Lismore. With a 2021 Census population of just 50 residents across approximately 80 square kilometres, it is a sparsely settled farming area within the federal electorate of Page and the state electorate of Lismore. The landscape is characterised by hilly subtropical farmland and remnant bushland typical of the NSW Northern Rivers hinterland.

Duck Creek's residents predominantly engage in or support primary industries including beef cattle farming and timber. The community is quiet and self-sufficient, with Casino serving as the primary service centre for everyday needs including schools, shopping, and medical services. Lismore, about an hour away, provides more extensive regional facilities including Southern Cross University and Lismore Base Hospital. The Northern Rivers hinterland setting offers scenic natural surroundings and a distinctly unhurried way of life.

Duck Creek falls under postcode 2469 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
