About North Casino

North Casino is a residential and semi-rural locality in the Richmond Valley of northern New South Wales, adjacent to the town of Casino and sharing postcode 2470 with the broader Casino district. The locality covers 28.9 square kilometres of rolling farming country and residential land on the northern reaches of Casino and recorded a population of approximately 1,000 at the 2021 census. Casino — the Richmond Valley's principal service town — sits immediately to the south and provides the area's urban services, including the area's railway station on the NSW North Coast line. The Richmond Valley's subtropical landscape of river plains, cattle farms and forested ranges provides the setting for North Casino's relaxed semi-rural character.

Lismore (30 km east) and Grafton (100 km south) provide additional regional services, while the Byron Bay hinterland and the Tweed Coast are within a 1.5–2 hour drive. Brisbane is approximately 228 kilometres north on the Pacific Highway, making Casino accessible for interstate travel.
