The Location

Northern NSW is a diverse region spanning from the jacaranda city of Grafton in the south, to the golden beaches of Tweed Heads in the north. The district is located on the traditional lands of the Bundjalung, Githabul, Gumbaynggirr and Yaegl nations.

The Tweed Valley is a subtropical oasis encompassing the rugged terrain of Wollumbin National Park, arty riverside villages, historic coastal towns and the gateway to the Gold Coast. The Ballina and Byron Shires include some of Australia’s most famous surf breaks and holiday destinations, while the hinterland is rich with vibrant communities and mouth-watering local produce.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing tree-change, a family destination or an adventure, there’s something to suit every lifestyle. Our staff live and work in some of Australia’s most sought-after destinations, where work/life balance is not a buzzword, it’s a reality!
