About Bilambil

Bilambil is a rural residential locality in the Tweed Shire of northern New South Wales, situated approximately 7 kilometres south-west of Tweed Heads and close to the Queensland border. Covering around 9.6 square kilometres of hilly terrain, the area is home to approximately 441 residents (2021 Census) who enjoy elevated positions with views across the Tweed Valley and surrounds. The locality is characterised by large residential blocks, acreage properties, and pockets of native bushland, lending it a semi-rural character distinct from the more urbanised nearby suburbs.

Bilambil offers a relaxed, semi-rural lifestyle within easy reach of the Tweed Coast's beaches, shopping precincts, and services in Tweed Heads and Tweed Heads South. Bilambil Public School provides local primary education, while secondary students typically travel to nearby Banora Point or Tweed Heads for schooling. The locality sits close to Terranora Broadwater and the hinterland foothills, appealing to families and semi-retirees seeking space, greenery, and affordability without straying too far from coastal conveniences. The Gold Coast's Coolangatta precinct is roughly 15 minutes by car, adding to the area's lifestyle appeal.

Bilambil falls under postcode 2486 and is governed by the Tweed Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Richmond, while state elections fall under the Tweed electorate.
