About Innes Park
Innes Park is a relaxed coastal suburb located about 15 kilometres south of Bundaberg in Queensland, nestled along the Coral Coast. With a population of around 2,653, it spreads across approximately 10 square kilometres of gently undulating coastal terrain at a modest elevation of 21 metres. The suburb is part of the Bundaberg Regional Council area and is known for its laid-back beach lifestyle and proximity to the Great Barrier Reef coast. Residents are predominantly Australian-born with a strong community of English and Scottish heritage.
Innes Park offers a quiet seaside lifestyle with access to patrolled and unpatrolled beaches, local parks, and coastal walking paths. The suburb attracts a mix of families, retirees, and sea-change seekers drawn by affordable housing — with a median weekly rent of around $335 — and a slower pace of life. Bundaberg's full range of shops, schools, hospitals, and services are just a short drive north. The community has a median age of 42 and a strong Anglican and Catholic presence, giving it a traditional, close-knit feel.
Innes Park falls under postcode 4670 and is governed by Bundaberg Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Burnett electorate.
