About New Auckland
New Auckland is a growing residential suburb on the southern outskirts of Gladstone, located 8 kilometres from the city centre. With a population of over 5,200, it is experiencing high levels of suburban development as one of Gladstone's key growth areas. Named after the ship Lord Auckland which carried early settlers to the area in 1847, the suburb is bounded by Auckland Creek and Briffney Creek.
The suburb attracts young families and workers in the resource sector seeking affordable, modern housing close to Gladstone's industrial employment. While there are no schools within New Auckland itself, nearby Clinton and Kin Kora provide primary education, with secondary schools in West Gladstone and Toolooa. The area offers quiet suburban living with good access to Gladstone's shopping and services via the Dawson Highway. The Moura railway line passes through the suburb but serves freight, not passengers.
New Auckland falls under postcode 4680 and is governed by Gladstone Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Gladstone electorate.
