About Foreshores
Foreshores is a coastal rural locality in the Gladstone Region of Queensland, situated approximately 56 kilometres south-east of Gladstone and 496 kilometres north-north-west of Brisbane. Covering a large area of approximately 237 square kilometres along the Queensland coast, the locality had a population of 142 people at the 2021 Census, giving it an extremely low population density of less than one person per square kilometre. The area falls within the electoral boundaries of the federal Division of Flynn and the state electorate of Burnett.
Foreshores is predominantly a farming and rural residential area, with the coastal foreshore and surrounding land used for agricultural purposes. The locality's remote character means residents rely heavily on the regional centres of Gladstone and Tannum Sands for shopping, schools, healthcare, and services. The area will appeal to those seeking a very quiet coastal rural lifestyle well away from urban centres, with the natural Queensland coastal environment providing the main drawcard.
Foreshores falls under postcode 4678 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Burnett electorate.
