About Goorganga Plains
Goorganga Plains is a largely uninhabited coastal locality in the Whitsunday Region of Queensland, situated approximately 9 kilometres south of Proserpine and 116 kilometres northwest of Mackay. The 2021 census recorded no permanent population in the locality, which covers around 107 square kilometres of low-lying coastal floodplain and agricultural land near the Conway Range. The area sits within the broader Whitsunday region, one of Queensland's most iconic tourism destinations.
Goorganga Plains is characterised by sugarcane and farming land at the edge of the Whitsunday hinterland, with easy access to Proserpine's services just to the north and the renowned Whitsunday Islands and Airlie Beach approximately 30 kilometres to the east. The nearby Conway National Park offers bushwalking, wildlife, and scenic views of the Whitsunday Passage. The area appeals to those seeking an extraordinarily private rural lifestyle within striking distance of the Whitsundays' world-class beaches and resorts.
Goorganga Plains falls under postcode 4800 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Whitsunday electorate.
