Kyogle Council is a local government area in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia.
The council services an area of 3,589 square kilometres (1,386 sq mi) and is located adjacent to the Summerland Way and the North Coast railway line, within two hours drive from Brisbane and one hour from the Queensland Gold Coast and the NSW coastal communities of Byron Bay, Ballina and Tweed Heads. Kyogle Council comprises a large and diverse region with natural attributes, including the Border Ranges National Park and other world heritage listed areas, and cultural features.[5]
The mayor of Kyogle Council is Clr. Kylie Thomas.
In 2015, Kyogle Council was deemed 'not fit for future' by the New South Wales government's Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal and was urged to merge with a nearby council,[6] although the NSW government backflipped later in 2015 and allowed the council to continue in its current form.[7]
