Coffs Harbour is a seaside town located on the north coast of New South Wales about 570 kms north of Sydney and 350kms south of Brisbane. The region has a steadily growing population of approximately 70,000 people that swells to over 100,000 in the holiday season. Popular with ‘tree’ and ‘sea’ changers, Coffs Harbour continues to grow at an exceptional rate. Nestled between a high mountain backdrop and dozens of unspoiled beaches. Coffs Harbour has industrial centres on the south and north sides of the city, which are home to many small manufactures, freight and distribution firms, wholesalers and bulky goods retailers. The area additionally boasts three major shopping centres, including many national franchises and representation from the major national supermarkets, fashion houses and food chains in addition to a thriving retail hub in the revamped city centre. Coffs Harbour is also accessible by road, Countrylink trains and regular bus services.

Coffs Harbour owes its name to John Korff, who named the area Korff's Harbour when he was forced to take shelter from storm in the area in 1847. Its name was accidentally changed by the surveyor for the crown when he reserved land in the area during 1861.

Coffs Harbour Airport: (IATA: CFS, ICAO: YCFS) is the only airport located on and serving the regional centre of Coffs Harbour, Australia. The airport is located near Boambee, south of Coffs Harbour. Coffs Harbour Regional Airport is one of the largest and busiest regional airports in New South Wales, handling numerous types of aircraft.

Great Dividing Range, also known as the Eastern Highlands, is Australia's most substantial mountain range. The range stretches more than 3500km from the northeastern tip of Queensland, running the entire length of the eastern coastline through New South Wales, then into Victoria.

Although the Pacific Highway cuts through the centre of the city, much attention has recently been focused on obtaining state government commitment to determining the routes of proposed highway deviations at a number of places including Bonville, the North Boambee Valley to the west of Coffs Harbour and north of Arrawarra to Wells Crossing.

There are many National Parks, Reserves and Marine Parks surrounding the city, including:

Bellinger River National Park (west of Bellingen in the Bellinger headwaters)
Bindarri National Park (20km west of the city, near Ulong and Dairyville)
Bongil Bongil National Park (south of Sawtell)
Cascade National Park (north of Dorrigo)
Coffs Coast Regional Park (beachside reserves and parks along the Coffs Coast)
Dorrigo National Park (just south of the Dorrigo township)
Junuy Juluum National Park (north of Dorrigo)
Moonee Beach Nature Reserve (Moonee Beach-Emerald Beach)
Nymboi-Binderay National Park (north of Dorrigo, east of Glenreigh, on the Nymboida River)
Solitary Islands Marine Park (in the Tasman Sea from Coffs Harbour to Wooli)
Ulidarra National Park (Bruxner Park and Mount Coramba area)
Yuraygir National Park (stretching from Yamba to Red Rock and west along the Coast Range)

The town's water supply comes from the nearby Orara River at Cochranes Pool and the city hosts the Coffs Harbour Regional Botanic Garden.

Geography

The greater Coffs Harbour city is broken up into several suburb and precinct areas including:

Boambee, Coffs Harbour City Centre (City Centre), Coffs Harbour Jetty (Jetty), Diggers Beach, Korora, Moonee Beach, Park Beach, Red Hill, South Coffs, West Coffs, West Korora, Sapphire Beach

The city is surrounded by outlying towns that have established themselves and are often referred to as suburbs of the Coffs Coast Region:

Bellingen, Coramba, Nana Glen, Corindi/Red Rock, Dorrigo, Sawtell (Including Toormina and East Boambee), Woolgoolga

Sawtell, 10 km south along Hogbin Drive from the city has become a little brother town, where it was often regarded as a suburb of the city.

Coffs Harbour is also one of many regional cities along the Pacific Highway between Newcastle and The Gold Coast. The city's close proximity to the centre of the mid and north coasts makes it a comfortable drive from either end of the highway. Some of the regional cities that scatter the highway include Tweed Heads, Ballina, Grafton, Kempsey, Port Macquarie and Taree.

The surrounding region is dominated by coastal resorts and apartments with hinterland hills and mountains covered by forests, banana plantations, and other farms. It is the only place in Australia where the Great Dividing Range meets the Pacific Ocean.

Coffs Harbour is the hub for a thriving banana industry. One of the biggest attractions is the Big Banana, the first of Australia's Big Things (it celebrated its 40th Birthday in 2005), with the World's Largest Banana celebrating the region's best known export. There is also a popular underwater diving spot on a small natural reef.

The Coffs Harbour Jetty is an historically important timber wharf where coastal shipping once moved the timber from the hinterland. The Jetty area is the subject of current planning by Council and consultants to develop a cultural precinct and rejuvenated residential area.

Nearby the Solitary Islands Marine Park preserves a diverse underwater ecosystem that mirrors the terrestrial biodiversity, covering the southern limit of northern tropical species and the northern limits of the southern temperate species. Directly out to sea from Coffs Harbour adjacent to the man-made breakwater is Muttonbird Island. The island is a nature reserve protecting a significant Wedge-tailed Shearwater breeding site.

You may want to rent buy, sell, hire, purchase, loan some houses in the area.
