Fraser Coast

6,912 km²

Growth and change have shaped the landscape of Fraser Coast over the last decade. This expansive region is a mix of coastal and rural living where the pace of life is slower than in the cities. It is a place where many people rely on cars to get around and where the local community includes a significant First Nations population. The area's character is defined by its vast size and the way its residents are spread across the landscape.
