About Bottle Creek

Bottle Creek is a small rural locality in the Richmond Valley region of northern New South Wales, within the Kyogle Local Government Area. The locality covers approximately 26 square kilometres of Northern Rivers hinterland country and had a population of just 42 at the 2021 census. Set in the hill country of the far north coast hinterland, it shares the postcode 2469 with surrounding localities including Tabulam and Minyama. Bottle Creek falls within the federal electorate of Page and the NSW state electorate of Lismore.

Bottle Creek is a deeply rural locality characterised by native forest, scrub and scattered farmholdings typical of the Northern Rivers hinterland. Access to services requires travel to Kyogle or Casino (each approximately 80–90 kilometres) for everyday needs, making it one of the more remote localities in the region. The natural landscape offers bushland walks, wildlife habitat and the quiet appeal of a very private rural existence. The locality attracts self-sufficient landholders who value isolation and a strong connection to the Northern Rivers natural environment.

Bottle Creek falls under postcode 2469 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
