About Marom Creek
Marom Creek is a small rural town located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, straddling the boundaries of Ballina Shire and the City of Lismore. With a population of approximately 146 people as of the 2021 census, the settlement sits amid the subtropical hinterland characterised by lush farmland, creek flats, and regenerating rainforest. The area lies roughly 15-20 kilometres south of Lismore, the major regional centre of the Northern Rivers.
Marom Creek attracts residents who value the relaxed, green lifestyle of the Northern Rivers hinterland, with a community strongly connected to the land through farming, small-scale agriculture, and rural pursuits. The nearby towns of Lismore and Ballina provide access to schools, hospitals, shops, and employment, while the Byron Bay hinterland offers a broader cultural scene. The region's subtropical climate, creek scenery, and growing community of alternative and lifestyle residents give Marom Creek an appealing, unhurried character.
Marom Creek falls under postcode 2480 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
