About Burrapine

Burrapine is a small rural locality on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, located in the hinterland hills approximately 20 kilometres south-west of Kempsey and within the Kempsey Shire. The locality covers nearly 39 square kilometres of predominantly forested and agricultural land, with a small population of 58 residents at the 2021 Census. It sits within the upper reaches of the Macleay Valley, a region known for its dairy farming, timber, and lush subtropical vegetation. The area is part of the federal electorate of Cowper, a predominantly provincial and coastal constituency.

The Burrapine area is characterised by small farmsteads, state forest, and winding roads through hilly terrain typical of the Macleay Valley hinterland. Residents rely on Kempsey for most services, with the Pacific Highway providing the main corridor for regional connectivity. The landscape offers a peaceful, semi-rural lifestyle with access to creeks, forest, and the natural beauty of the mid-north coast hinterland. Like many small coastal hinterland localities, Burrapine attracts those seeking a quiet country lifestyle within reasonable reach of coastal towns.

Burrapine falls under postcode 2447 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Oxley electorate.
