Australian postcode 2428 covers the Forster–Tuncurry area and surrounding coastal communities on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, offering a strongly coastal lifestyle centred on beaches, lakes, waterways, fishing, boating and tourism. The 2021 Census recorded 25,187 people across the postcode, with a notably high median age of 58, reflecting its large retiree and mature-age population, although it also includes younger families and working residents. Forster and Tuncurry provide a good range of retail, health, government, education and community services, while larger regional centres such as Taree and Port Macquarie provide additional specialist services. The area has a warm, humid subtropical climate, with mild winters and warm summers, and its beaches, Wallis Lake, Booti Booti National Park and surrounding waterways are major lifestyle attractions. Housing is predominantly detached homes, although the postcode also has a significant apartment and semi-detached component; the 2021 Census recorded median weekly rent of $330, median household income of $980, and an average of 1.6 vehicles per dwelling. For SENA, 2428 is an interesting coastal Edge Node because it combines a sizeable, relatively dispersed population, tourism and service businesses, a high proportion of older residents and a surrounding rural hinterland, creating potential demand for locally delivered digital, health-support, HR and community services.
