About Mons
Mons is a small rural residential locality in Queensland's Sunshine Coast Region, located approximately 3.5 kilometres west of Buderim and 95 kilometres north of Brisbane. With a population of around 1,180 at the 2021 census and an area of 4.2 square kilometres, it offers a semi-rural lifestyle on the Sunshine Coast hinterland. The locality sits within the Sunshine Coast Region local government area and enjoys a gentle, hilly landscape characteristic of the Buderim area. It is a quiet, low-density community popular with those seeking acreage living close to coastal amenities.
Mons residents enjoy the best of both worlds — a tranquil semi-rural setting with convenient access to the beaches, shops, and schools of the broader Sunshine Coast. Nearby Buderim Village offers cafés, specialty stores, and community events, while the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and Sunshine Plaza at Maroochydore are within easy reach. The area is popular with families and semi-retirees who value space, greenery, and proximity to nature. Its position in the hinterland gives it a relaxed, community-oriented character that complements the coast.
Mons falls under postcode 4556 and is governed by Sunshine Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ninderry electorate.
