About South Trees

South Trees is a coastal industrial locality in the Gladstone Region of Queensland, situated approximately 8.8 kilometres south-south-east of the Gladstone CBD. The suburb is essentially uninhabited residentially — the 2021 Census recorded zero residents — as the area is dominated by major industrial and port infrastructure. South Trees is home to significant industrial facilities associated with the Port of Gladstone, including sections of the Queensland Alumina Limited (QAL) refinery precinct, one of the world's largest alumina refineries. The suburb fronts Gladstone Harbour and forms part of the broader industrial corridor that defines Gladstone's economy.

As a primarily industrial precinct, South Trees does not have residential amenities, schools, or retail facilities. The area plays a critical role in Gladstone's identity as a major industrial and resource export hub, supporting thousands of jobs in the broader region. Workers at the industrial facilities typically reside in nearby suburbs such as Boyne Island, South Gladstone, or Glen Eden. The broader Gladstone area is known for its strong resources sector, with aluminium smelting, LNG export, and coal being key industries. South Trees is integral to the logistics and processing infrastructure that underpins regional Queensland's export economy.
