Overview

West Mackay lies directly west of Mackay’s central business district, bordered by the Pioneer River, the Bruce Highway and Paradise Street. It’s a low‑lying, flat suburb of 6,536 people (2021 Census) with excellent connectivity: the Glenella Connection Road and Nebo Road run north‑south, the Edmund Casey Bridge links it to Foulden, and the North Coast railway line skirts its south‑west edge. Residents enjoy immediate access to the Mackay Base Hospital, the Parkside Plaza shopping centre anchored by Coles, and the scenic Botanic Gardens with its lagoon, café and art gallery.

The area is family‑friendly, hosting Mackay West State School, St Francis Xavier Catholic Primary School and the new Catherine McAuley College secondary campus. Community life centres around churches, the historic Mackay Bowls Club, several local parks and the South Sea Islander Meeting Hut, offering a blend of recreational, educational and heritage‑rich amenities within walking distance of homes.
