Overview

South Mackay lies immediately south of Mackay’s centre, bordered by the Coral Sea. The largely flat land, aside from a small 10‑metre hill in the southeast, hosts Mackay Airport on the south‑eastern side, while residential streets stretch into the north and west. The 2021 census recorded 6,918 residents, offering a housing mix close to both the airport and the coastline with convenient road links to the city.

Families benefit from several schools, including St Mary’s Catholic Primary, Mackay State High and Mercy College, and churches such as St Mary’s Catholic and Armitage Uniting. Sports facilities near the airport host the Souths Rugby League, Souths Hockey, City Brothers Football and Harrup Park Country clubs, providing cricket, AFL and other activities. Nearby hotels and the airport add travel convenience for residents and visitors.
