About Piora

Piora is a small rural locality in the Richmond Valley region of northern New South Wales, situated approximately 20 kilometres north-east of Casino and within Richmond Valley Council. Covering nearly 40 square kilometres of undulating pastoral country, Piora is typical of the rich grazing and dairy farming belt of the Northern Rivers. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 71 residents, reflecting its character as a sparsely settled agricultural locality where cattle grazing on basalt soils and alluvial flats defines the landscape.

The area is characterised by well-established pastoral properties with kikuyu and paspalum pastures, creek flats, and timbered ridges — productive land that has supported dairy and beef farming for generations. The Bruxner Highway lies approximately 1 kilometre away, providing straightforward access to Casino and its full range of services including supermarkets, schools, and medical facilities. Piora is a locality for those who cherish the tranquillity of rural Northern Rivers life, where wide paddocks, birdsong, and the occasional dairy truck on a country lane define daily rhythms.

Piora falls under postcode 2470 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
