About Berat
Berat is a rural locality in the Southern Downs Region of Queensland, situated approximately 25 kilometres north of Warwick and 150 kilometres south-west of Brisbane. Covering around 35 square kilometres of mixed farming country on the Darling Downs, the locality sits in a gently undulating agricultural landscape between the towns of Allora and Warwick. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 129 residents across 49 dwellings, reflecting Berat's character as a quiet farming community.
Berat's rural identity is rooted in the pastoral and cropping traditions of the southern Darling Downs, with properties given over to grain, sheep, and cattle production. The nearby township of Allora, just a few kilometres to the north, provides a small general store, school, and community hall, while Warwick to the south offers a full range of services including schools, hospitals, and retail. Toowoomba, the regional centre, is approximately 65 kilometres north and accessible by the New England Highway. Berat appeals to those who value the wide open skies and community spirit of the Downs.
Berat falls under postcode 4362 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Southern Downs electorate.
