About Elliott Heads
Elliott Heads is a coastal locality in the Bundaberg Region, about 18 km south-east of Bundaberg CBD, where the Elliott River meets the Coral Sea. It has a growing population and a relaxed beachside character with a mix of permanent residents and lifestyle-oriented households. The area is known for foreshore access, tidal inlets and seaside views. Its coastal setting makes it a popular southern beachside community for the Bundaberg area.
Lifestyle in Elliott Heads centres on beach recreation, fishing, boating and a quieter coastal pace. Daily services are partly local, with broader shopping, schools and major health services accessed in Bundaberg. Public transport links exist but are less frequent than urban corridors, so many residents rely on private vehicles. The suburb suits families, retirees and remote workers looking for coastal living close to a regional city.
Elliott Heads falls under postcode 4670 and is governed by Bundaberg Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Burnett electorate.
