About Tinana

Tinana is a large residential and semi-rural locality on the southern outskirts of Maryborough in south-east Queensland, forming part of the Fraser Coast Regional Council area. Covering 37 square kilometres, it has a population of 5,872 with a median age of 49, reflecting a mature community that includes a significant proportion of retirees and long-established families. Median weekly household income of $1,255 and affordable rents of $300 per week place Tinana among the more accessible localities in the Fraser Coast region.

Tinana borders the Mary River corridor and is surrounded by the low-lying farmland and bushland characteristic of the Fraser Coast hinterland, giving residents a quiet, semi-rural lifestyle within easy reach of Maryborough's town centre and services. The suburb has a strong community identity, with a predominantly Christian and established Anglo-Australian population, as well as a notable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander presence. Families are well-served by a choice of government and non-government primary and secondary schools, and the wider Fraser Coast region provides access to Hervey Bay's beaches and World Heritage-listed Fraser Island.

Tinana falls under postcode 4650 and is governed by Fraser Coast Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Maryborough electorate.
