The City of Coffs Harbour is the Local Government Area that administers the Coffs Harbour area. It is on the Pacific Highway, and the North Coast railway line.

The City's resident population was estimated at 62,902 by the Australian Bureau of Statistics at the August 2001 Census, and this has grown to nearly 67,000 (2005). It has recently expanded to include the localities of Red Rock, Corindi and Upper Corindi, previously part of the former Pristine Waters local government authority (LGA), the balance of which has been amalgamated into the Clarence Valley Council to the north. Since this amalgamation the Coffs Harbour Local Government area has expanded to cover 1,175 km².

It also includes: Arrawarra, Woolgoolga, Sandy Beach, Emerald Beach, Moonee Beach, Korora, Nana Glen, Coramba, Karangi, Toormina, Sawtell and Bonville.

Coffs Harbour's sister city is Sasebo, Japan.

On 9 May 2000 the Coffs Harbour City Council brought into effect the Coffs Harbour City Koala Plan of Management which was prepared to arrest the decline in koala numbers that has arisen from land clearing and habitat disturbance.
