Live close to the action but far enough away to enjoy the benefits of relaxed, regional living.

The Fraser Coast sits at the hub of the Wide Bay-Burnett, one Australia’s fastest growing regions. The region is centred on the twin cities of Hervey Bay and Maryborough and has direct road, rail and air access to major domestic centres including resource sectors to the west and north.

It lies just north of the Sunshine Coast, and south of the Bundaberg North Burnett region, only 250km north (about 3 ½ hours) from Brisbane by road and a 90-minute flight from Sydney.
