About Woodlawn

Woodlawn is a small rural locality in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, situated within the City of Lismore local government area approximately 8 kilometres north-east of Lismore. The locality recorded just 45 residents at the 2021 census and covers approximately 5 square kilometres of gently rolling farmland and remnant subtropical rainforest. The area sits on the Country of the Widjabul and Wia-bal peoples of the Bundjalung Nation.

Woodlawn's name reflects its historical landscape - the area was once described as thick jungle known to early European settlers as "Calico Grass" and has since been cleared for farming. Today the locality is a peaceful rural retreat close to Lismore's services, schools, and hospital, with easy access to the broader Northern Rivers region including Byron Bay, Ballina, and the Tweed Coast. Residents enjoy a quiet country lifestyle typical of the hinterland surrounding Lismore, with the city's amenities just a short drive away.

Woodlawn falls under postcode 2480 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
