Its population was 45,580 in 2011 with the greater region having a population of 70,990 in 2012.〔 Estimated resident population (ERP) at 30 June 2012.〕 Coffs Harbour won an international "Bloom award" for population 20,001 - 75,000 in 2002.〔http://www.livcomawards.com/previous-winners/2002.htm〕 In addition an "Enhancement of the Landscape" in 2004 from the same organisation.〔http://www.livcomawards.com/previous-winners/2004.htm〕 Coffs Harbour's economy was once based mainly on bananas, now being superseded by blueberries as well as tourism and fishing.〔https://coffsharbour.spydus.com/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/OPAC/BIBENQ?ENTRY_NAME=BS&ENTRY=coffs+council+economic+profile+2003〕 The city has a campus of Southern Cross University, a public〔(Coffs Harbour Base Hospital ::: North Coast Area Health Service ).

The city's close proximity to the centre of the mid and north coasts makes it a comfortable drive from either end of the highway. It has become a major service centre for those living between South West Rocks in the south and Grafton to the north. Sawtell, 10 km south along Hogbin Drive from the city has become a satellite suburb of Coffs Harbour, with it increasingly referred to as being part of the city instead of its own entity as a town. The surrounding region is dominated by coastal resorts and apartments with hinterland hills and mountains covered by forests, banana plantations, and other farms. It is the only place in New South Wales where the Great Dividing Range meets the Pacific Ocean. The greater Coffs Harbour city is broken up into several suburb and precinct areas including: * Boambee * Toormina * Coffs Harbour City Centre * Coffs Harbour Jetty * North Boambee Valley * Diggers Beach * Korora * Moonee Beach * Park Beach * Red Hill * South Coffs * West Coffs * West Korora * Sapphire Beach The city is surrounded by outlying towns which are referred to by locals as suburbs of the Coffs Coast Region: * Bellingen * Coramba * Nana Glen * Corindi/Red Rock * Dorrigo * Karangi * Upper Orara * Sawtell (Including Toormina and Boambee East) * Woolgoolga * Nambucca Valley region 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coffs Harbour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
