Overview

Burrum Heads is a rapidly evolving coastal town within the Fraser Coast Region, positioned approximately 28 kilometres north of Hervey Bay. Known for its relaxed seaside lifestyle, the area is now firmly on the radar for future residential growth, driven by increasing demand, expanding infrastructure, and ongoing development activity throughout the township.

This significant landholding presents a compelling development opportunity (subject to council approval). Surrounded by active and approved developments, with multiple neighbouring properties already holding Development Approvals, the property sits within a clearly defined growth corridor. Burrum Heads continues to expand at a consistent pace, with population growth and infrastructure investment reinforcing its long-term development potential.

Comprising approximately 623,646 square metres (62.36 hectares), the site offers predominantly flat, highly usable land-an increasingly rare asset in coastal locations. The western portion of the property rises gently, providing natural elevation that enhances drainage, outlook, and design flexibility. This topography lends itself to a variety of potential development outcomes (STCA), while also offering the option to establish a premium homestead or lifestyle estate positioned to capture panoramic views and long-term tranquillity.

From a lifestyle perspective, Burrum Heads delivers the coastal appeal that underpins buyer demand-wide open spaces, proximity to waterways, and a strong community atmosphere. Local amenities include a tavern, bowls club, bakery, butcher, and essential services, with a newly approved supermarket set to be developed just moments away behind the service station, further strengthening the town's liveability and retail offering.

Education and family infrastructure are well supported, with Torbanlea State School and Howard State School nearby, alongside a wide selection of private and state schools in Hervey Bay. The convenience of a school bus service passing directly in front of the property adds to its family-friendly appeal-an important driver for future residential uptake.

Connectivity is a key advantage. The Howard Train Station provides a direct rail link from Rockhampton to Brisbane's Central Station, offering a comfortable commuter option and direct access to the Brisbane CBD. In addition, close proximity to the Bruce Highway allows seamless north-south travel, with easy access to Childers and Bundaberg to the north, and Maryborough to the south.
Overall, this property represents a rare opportunity to secure a large-scale, well-located landholding in a growing coastal market. Combining development potential, strong lifestyle appeal, and excellent transport connectivity, it offers a strategic position for future residential outcomes while remaining deeply connected to the relaxed coastal character that defines Burrum Heads.
