Casino
Casino is set in the heart of the Richmond Valley region on the banks of the Richmond River at the junction of the Bruxner Highway and Summerland Way 733 km north of Sydney and 256 km south of Brisbane. With its wide open streets, Art Deco buildings, relaxed, friendly community and exciting potential economic business strategies, Casino is becoming a sought–after place to live, work and play.
Home to the Bundjalung people from ancient times, Casino was a central locus for Aboriginal culture and art, a rich history that continues today.
Casino is renowned for its quality beef production, timber and agriculture and as the rail and freight hub of the far north coast.
