Mackay Regional Council

Listing Details

With unspoilt coastal beaches, picturesque botanic gardens, family-friendly aquatic facilities, world class art gallery and state-of-the-art Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre – the Mackay region’s rapid growth and natural beauty have caught the eye of holidaymakers, property investors, those wanting a family-oriented lifestyle and jobseekers alike.

Mackay is the heart of the tropics, with stretches of brightly coloured exotic flowers and palms, beautifully hanging mango trees, and 31 beaches that are all adjourned with wildlife and the delightful Mackay weather.

Also donned with sunshine, and located on the fringe of the city’s CBD, is the spectacular FREE Bluewater Lagoon – a three-tier swimming sensation including interactive waterplay equipment and a must-see Queensland leisure destination. This aquatic masterpiece is fully fenced, open seven days a week and features a children's play area and waterslide. Take a bike ride along the fledgling Bluewater Trail or walk along the banks of the Pioneer River at dusk to experience one of the most breathtaking sunsets over this exquisite blue river.

Mackay’s Bluewater Quay Open Public Space has much to offer. If you are young and wanting a fun night of entertainment and buzz, get along to one of the many performances that are held under the summer nightsky, or take a trip to the region in the month of July to experience the Mackay Festival of Arts – one of regional Queensland largest arts and cultural festivals.

Within an hour’s drive is the magnificent Eungella National Park where you can see the platypus or hike around the forest at Finch Hatton Gorge.

Whether it is a quick tempo you are after or a tranquil holiday in a beautiful location, the Mackay region has something for everyone and is bound to impress.

Industries are expanding, assets are growing and our vision for the future is shining bright – it is truly an exciting time to visit Mackay.
