About Greenridge

Greenridge is a small rural locality in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, situated in the Richmond Valley Council area near the town of Casino, approximately 15 kilometres to the west. The locality shares postcode 2471 with Casino and a cluster of surrounding rural communities, and has a population of 156 residents spread across approximately 25 square kilometres of lush green hinterland. The area is characterised by rolling hills, cattle grazing, and the verdant landscapes typical of the Northern Rivers, where subtropical rainfall keeps the countryside richly vegetated. Household incomes are modest, reflecting the rural and agricultural nature of the area.

Greenridge offers the peaceful character of Northern Rivers rural life, surrounded by green hills and farmland not far from the Clarence and Richmond river catchments. Casino, the nearest service town, provides supermarkets, schools, a hospital, and community facilities, and is a well-established regional hub in the beef cattle industry. The Northern Rivers region is also well known for its alternative lifestyle communities, markets, and proximity to the coast, with Ballina and Byron Bay within comfortable driving distance. Residents require a car for all daily needs, as there is no local public transport or village shopping in Greenridge itself.

Greenridge falls under postcode 2471 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
