Overview

Urangan is a coastal suburb of Hervey Bay on the Fraser Coast, home to 10,988 residents (2021 Census). Bordered by Hervey Bay to the north and the Great Sandy Strait to the east, it offers a laid‑back waterfront lifestyle with Shelly Beach, the almost‑kilometre‑long Urangan Pier and daily whale‑watching and Fraser Island ferry tours. The Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens, set on 26 ha, showcase 20 000 orchids, a Chinese garden and a labyrinth, while local schools, including Urangan Point Primary, Sandy Strait Primary and Urangan State High, provide education from Prep to Year 12. Community groups such as the Queensland Country Women’s Association meet at 19 Pulgul Street, and the University of the Sunshine Coast is establishing a turtle‑research centre in Dayman Park.

Transport amenities enhance the suburb’s appeal: Urangan Boat Harbour supports recreation and commercial vessels, and the nearby Hervey Bay Airport serves the south‑west of the suburb. Historically, the Hervey Bay railway line terminated at the iconic pier, underscoring the area’s long‑standing link to regional travel. Residential options range from waterfront properties adjacent to the pier and harbour to inland homes close to schools and parks, giving buyers a diverse mix of living styles within a vibrant coastal community.
