About Good Forest
Good Forest is a small rural locality in the Lithgow local government area of the Central Tablelands region of New South Wales, located approximately 10 kilometres from Lithgow. Covering about 22 square kilometres, the area sits on elevated plateau country to the south-west of the Blue Mountains. The locality is sparsely populated, with residents drawn to its quiet bush setting and proximity to both Lithgow's services and the greater Blue Mountains region.
The area is typical of the Central Tablelands landscape, featuring eucalyptus bushland, farmland, and rural properties. Residents benefit from the nearby regional centre of Lithgow, which offers supermarkets, schools, hospitals, and rail connections to Sydney. The locality is well-suited to those seeking an affordable rural lifestyle within striking distance of the Blue Mountains National Park and Lithgow's growing arts and heritage scene.
Good Forest falls under postcode 2790 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Blue Mountains electorate.
