Welcome to the Fraser Coast

"Welcome to the Fraser Coast – where remarkable natural attractions, outstanding heritage and architecture and thriving industry and tourism combine to create a glorious, relaxed lifestyle and real sense of community.   

I think you’ll find the Fraser Coast surprising with the depth and range of experiences we have to offer. From the popular tourist hub of Hervey Bay and the beautiful riverside city of Maryborough to the rural charm of Glenwood, Howard, Tiaro and Bauple and coastal communities, including Poona, Tinnanbar, Burrum Heads, River Heads and the Great Sandy Strait – we have it all!

Our landscapes may differ, but our communities have many things in common. Wherever you go across the Fraser Coast region you’ll meet interesting characters each with a story to tell, you’ll find fierce community pride, a concern about the environment and an overall desire to ensure our region remains sustainable, liveable and affordable.  

Ideally located, the Fraser Coast is the gateway to Fraser Island and southern Great Barrier Reef and is less than three hours drive from Brisbane."
