About Pearces Creek

Pearces Creek is a quiet rural locality in Lismore Council, New South Wales, situated in the Northern Rivers region between the regional centres of Lismore and Ballina, approximately 17 km from each. With a population of around 210 residents, the area is a patchwork of rolling hills, farming properties, and tall stands of eucalyptus on the traditional lands of the Widjabul Wia-bal people of the Bundjalung Nation. The locality is accessed via Pearces Creek Road from the Bangalow area.

Pearces Creek is best known locally for its historic community hall — a community-owned venue set amongst fields that hosts live music, dance nights, and local events, serving as the social heartbeat of the area. The locality sits within easy reach of Bangalow (15–20 min), Lismore, and Ballina, giving residents access to schools, hospitals, and shopping without sacrificing the peaceful rural lifestyle. Its proximity to the Eltham Hotel (5 minutes) is a local highlight. The community is close-knit, progressive, and deeply connected to the Northern Rivers arts and culture scene.

Pearces Creek falls under postcode 2477 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
