About North Arm

North Arm is a small rural locality in the Tweed Shire of northern New South Wales, situated in the lush subtropical hinterland near the Queensland border. With a population of 117 residents recorded in the 2021 Census and a median age of 42, the community covers just over 5 square kilometres of rolling green countryside typical of the Tweed hinterland. The median household income is modest, reflecting the small-scale farming and lifestyle character common to rural Tweed Shire communities.

The subtropical hinterland setting gives North Arm a peaceful, nature-immersed character, surrounded by fertile farmland and verdant bushland within the Tweed bioregion. The nearby town of Murwillumbah, the regional centre of Tweed Shire, provides access to schools, health services, shops, and transport connections. Residents appreciate the tranquil rural lifestyle while remaining within comfortable driving distance of Murwillumbah and the coastal centres of Tweed Heads and Kingscliff to the east.

North Arm falls under postcode 2484 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Tweed electorate.
