Welcome to the Bellingen Shire

Welcome to Bellingen Shire, located on the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales in the Coffs Coast region.

With a subtropical climate, the region hosts the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforest with many waterfalls, creeks and swimming holes. On the coast are the towns of Urunga and Mylestom, in the valley is the vibrant town of Bellingen and on the plateau is the town of Dorrigo, surrounded by waterfalls and national parks.

The 185km Waterfall Way scenic tourist drive route connects these towns into the New England High Country.
