Where Opportunity and Liveability Thrive

Mackay Regional Council is dedicated to creating a region where opportunity flourishes, while striving to become the best place for both liveability and livelihood. Covering more than 7,600 square kilometres, the Mackay region is home to Australia’s longest stretch of subtropical rainforest, 31 pristine beaches, and around 40 unique communities.

With the picturesque Pioneer Valley, a thriving recreational fishing industry, and well-established agricultural and resource sectors, the Mackay region seamlessly combines the best of coastal and inland living. Mackay Regional Council works closely with its communities to build an environment where families, businesses, and individuals are supported to reach their full potential.

The Council is committed to fostering a safe, healthy, connected, and sustainable community, where opportunities are realised and the lifestyle is second to none. Mackay Regional Council also acknowledges the traditional custodians of the region, the Yuwi and Widi people, and honours their cultural heritage as the region continues to grow.

Recognising the need for growth, the Council is focused on investing in social infrastructure, sporting facilities, regional connectivity, and technology. Ensuring affordability for residents, while supporting local businesses and driving economic investment, remains a priority as the region moves towards a prosperous and sustainable future.
