About Eli Waters
Eli Waters is a suburban locality within the Hervey Bay urban area on Queensland's Fraser Coast, approximately 290 kilometres north of Brisbane within the Fraser Coast Regional Council area. With a population of 3,758 and a median age of 48, the suburb has a notably older demographic, with a large proportion of residents in the 65–84 age bracket reflecting Hervey Bay's well-known status as a retiree destination. Median household income of $1,038 per week is below the national average, consistent with the coastal lifestyle-focused economy of the region.
Eli Waters is a quiet, largely residential suburb characterised by modern detached housing and a relaxed coastal lifestyle. Residents are close to the Hervey Bay waterfront, the Esplanade, and attractions including whale watching tours operating from nearby Urangan Marina. The suburb has good access to local shopping via the Stockland Hervey Bay shopping centre and surrounding retail strips. With no rail service in Hervey Bay, private vehicles are essential for getting around, though the flat terrain and mild climate make cycling a popular local option.
