About Urbenville
Urbenville is a small village and locality in the Tenterfield Shire of northern New South Wales, nestled within the Northern Tablelands region approximately 822 kilometres north of Sydney and 150 kilometres south-west of Brisbane. The village is surrounded by heavily timbered state forests and national parks on the New England Plateau, giving it a lush, green character. With a population of around 331 people, it is a tight-knit rural community at an elevation that produces mild summers and cool winters.
The area is popular with timber workers, hobby farmers, and those drawn to its proximity to the vast Tooloom and Koreelah national parks, which offer bushwalking, birdwatching, and creek swimming. The Clarence River headwaters run through the surrounding country, providing fishing opportunities. Urbenville has a small general store and community hall; residents rely on Woodenbong or Tenterfield for broader services, making it ideal for those embracing a genuinely off-grid, nature-immersed lifestyle.
Urbenville falls under postcode 2475 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
