AGNES WATER & 1770

"Where coastal serenity meets high-potential lifestyle investment."

Lifestyle Insight:

Queensland’s hidden coastal gem — where rainforest meets reef and every sunrise feels like a postcard. Agnes Water & 1770 are fast becoming havens for remote professionals, creatives, and families chasing space, sunshine, and serenity. The lifestyle is relaxed yet connected, with boutique cafés, surf breaks, and a welcoming small-town community.

Investment Insight:

Limited land supply and tightly held stock are driving strong price resilience. Local tourism growth, eco-accommodation projects, and lifestyle migration are underpinning future demand. Smart buyers are moving early to secure premium homes and acreage before scarcity drives the next value surge.

GLADSTONE

“Queensland’s energy capital — driving jobs, yields, and the next growth cycle.”

Lifestyle Insight:

Once known purely as an industrial hub, Gladstone has evolved into a modern, family-friendly city with access to islands, harbours, and a growing hospitality scene. The community is strong, and the lifestyle surprisingly coastal for a region of its scale.

Investment Insight:

Gladstone sits at the centre of Australia’s renewable-energy and hydrogen transformation. The Fitzroy-to-Gladstone Pipeline and multi-billion-dollar industrial investments are driving sustained employment and rental demand. With yields often above 5% and fresh infrastructure breaking ground, investors are entering early in the next growth cycle.

HERVEY BAY

“A dynamic coastal city delivering growth, liveability, and long-term value.”

Lifestyle Insight:

Hervey Bay offers an exceptional balance of coastal beauty and modern convenience. With calm beaches, world-class whale watching, high-quality healthcare, and a growing dining scene, it has become a top destination for families, retirees, and remote professionals seeking an elevated lifestyle by the water. Its walkable foreshore, cycle paths, and community events give it a true coastal-city feel without the congestion of major metros.

Investment Insight:

As one of Queensland’s strongest population-growth corridors, Hervey Bay continues to attract steady migration from both interstate and intrastate buyers. Major civic investment — including the new Hervey Bay Community Hub, CBD revitalisation works, and upgraded community facilities — is reshaping liveability and economic confidence. With historically low vacancies and rising rental demand, Hervey Bay offers a compelling mix of yield, growth, and long-term stability for investors seeking a strategic coastal foothold.

MARYBOROUGH

“Heritage charm with untapped opportunity for strategic buyers.”

Lifestyle Insight:

Maryborough blends heritage charm with a growing creative and cultural identity. Its beautifully preserved Queenslanders, tree-lined streets, artisan markets, and strong sense of community make it ideal for relocators seeking character homes, affordability, and a slower, more intentional lifestyle. Proximity to Hervey Bay and improved transport connectivity add to its appeal for commuters and families.

Investment Insight:

Maryborough is undergoing quiet but meaningful transformation, supported by regional infrastructure funding and renewed commercial interest in the CBD. The affordability gap between Maryborough and neighbouring coastal markets is drawing smart buyers who recognise its value upside. Strong rental demand, consistent yields, and value-add renovation opportunities make it an attractive proposition for investors looking to enter the Fraser Coast at a strategic price point.

BUNDABERG & BARGARA REGION

“A thriving regional hub powered by growth, agriculture, and resilient returns.”

Lifestyle Insight:

Bundaberg delivers authentic regional living, blending coastal calm with a thriving food and beverage scene. Bargara, the region’s premier beachside enclave, attracts sea-changers with its café strip, golf course, and relaxed coastal lifestyle.

Investment Insight:

Major investment in water security through the Paradise Dam restoration is underpinning long-term confidence. Strong yields (often 5%+) and affordable entry points create a compelling case for investors seeking balanced cash flow and growth. Bargara’s boutique coastal market, meanwhile, continues to attract interstate and expat buyers seeking premium lifestyle assets.

ROCKHAMPTON & YEPPOON

“A central Queensland powerhouse where infrastructure and opportunity align.”

Lifestyle Insight:

Rockhampton combines regional prosperity with modern city amenities — excellent schools, hospitals, and a strong sense of community. Just 30 minutes away, Yeppoon offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle, boutique retail, and panoramic views of the Keppel Islands.

Investment Insight:

The $1.98 billion Rockhampton Ring Road and adjoining transport upgrades are unlocking new corridors and boosting accessibility. Low days-on-market and rising demand from professionals and families make these markets ideal for balanced portfolio growth — where lifestyle and capital appreciation align.

OTHER CENTRAL QLD REGIONS

“High-yield regional markets with early-cycle potential for savvy investors.”

Lifestyle Insight:

Inland towns such as Biloela, Calliope, Emerald, and Gracemere offer genuine community, affordable living, and proximity to regional employment hubs. For relocators, these areas deliver room to move and an authentic Queensland lifestyle.

Investment Insight:

Driven by energy, agriculture, and logistics expansion, these towns present high-yield opportunities with limited competition. Infrastructure upgrades and renewable projects are laying the groundwork for long-term regional growth — ideal for investors seeking early-cycle diversification.
