About Kippenduff

Kippenduff is a remote rural locality in the Richmond Valley region of northern New South Wales, within the Kyogle Local Government Area. The locality covers over 115 square kilometres of hinterland terrain and had a population of just 17 at the 2021 census, making it one of the most sparsely settled localities in the Northern Rivers region. It lies in the hilly country between the Northern Rivers coastal lowlands and the ranges bordering Queensland. The locality falls within the federal electorate of Page and the NSW state electorate of Lismore.

Kippenduff sits in rugged Northern Rivers hinterland, characterised by forest, bushland and scattered grazing properties. Access to services requires travel to Casino (approximately 80 kilometres east) for everyday needs, or Lismore for major services. The region offers outstanding natural environment including potential access to rainforest areas near the Queensland border ranges. Its deep isolation makes it best suited to self-sufficient rural landholders who value privacy and connection to the natural landscape.

Kippenduff falls under postcode 2469 and is governed by the Clarence Valley Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Page, while state elections fall under the Lismore electorate.
