About Modanville
Modanville is a small rural locality in the Northern Rivers hinterland of New South Wales, north of Lismore. The 2021 Census population in the dataset is 614, reflecting a dispersed semi-rural community with farming and lifestyle acreage. The area has strong links to Bundjalung Country and to the broader Big Scrub agricultural history of the region. Its character is low-density and village-fringe, with a mix of farmland, rainforest remnants and rural residences.
Residents typically rely on Lismore and nearby townships for major shopping, health and employment services while enjoying a quieter countryside setting. Local identity is shaped by small businesses, community networks and proximity to Northern Rivers natural landscapes. Public transport is limited, so most households depend on private vehicles for commuting and services. Modanville appeals to families and lifestyle residents seeking space and a regional pace close to urban conveniences.
Modanville falls under postcode 2480 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
