About Habana
Habana is a coastal rural locality in the Mackay Region, located 20 kilometres northwest of Mackay in tropical Queensland. With just over 1,000 residents spread across 92 square kilometres, this agricultural community maintains strong ties to the sugar industry that has defined the region for over a century. The locality features low-lying sugarcane fields near the coast rising to mountainous grazing land inland.
Life in Habana revolves around farming, family, and community tradition—the annual harvest mass blessing has been celebrated for over 40 years. Residents enjoy a genuinely rural lifestyle with access to secluded beaches like Neils Beach and Williamsons Beach. The community attracts farming families, retirees seeking acreage, and those who value space, tranquility, and the tight-knit character of regional Queensland living.
Habana falls under postcode 4740 and is governed by Mackay Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Whitsunday electorate.
