About Cedar Point
Cedar Point is a rural locality in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, situated within the Kyogle Council local government area (postcode 2474). Geographically, the area is characterised by undulating pastoral land, remnant bushland, and waterways typical of the Richmond River catchment. Due to its rural nature, Cedar Point has a very small, dispersed population engaged primarily in agriculture, with residents relying on nearby Kyogle for broader residential and municipal services.
Local life in Cedar Point is centered around primary agricultural industries, predominantly beef cattle grazing and associated rural enterprises. The locality operates largely without commercial amenities, functioning instead as a quiet residential and farming community. Residents access schools, healthcare, shopping, and community services in the nearby town of Kyogle. Transport connectivity relies on local rural roads linking the area to the Summer Land Way.
The history of Cedar Point is closely tied to the timber-getting and agricultural settlement of the Kyogle region in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally inhabited by Bundjalung Aboriginal people, the area was progressively cleared by European settlers for cedar harvesting, followed by dairy farming and beef production. While few historic structures remain prominent today, the cultural landscape reflects the traditional patterns of post-colonial rural development in the Northern Rivers.
