Mackay - A lovely lifestyle or a wise investment?
Whether you are seeking a new home to live in or an investment property, you can’t look past Mackay. Mackay offers a diverse range of natural attractions, amongst a vibrant and booming cosmopolitan atmosphere. The city is located 803 kilometres north [by air] from Brisbane, with a population of 143,000 in the Mackay Region. Embracing the relaxed tropical North Queensland climate, a property here is a wise investment. Mackay has everything you could want from a major Regional city – modern CBD, picturesque beaches, gorgeous islands and reef, lush rainforests, gorges and hinterlands, a world class marina, excellent restaurants and retail shops.

Why is Mackay such a wise investment choice?
In addition to the superb offerings of this regional city, the region’s hinterland is one of the wealthiest areas in Queensland, responsible for around 50% of the State’s total volume of coal production, while the region’s mines supply 76% of the value of Queensland’s coal exports. The city is also fuelled by the construction, marine, tourism and sugar Industries [with Mackay being one of Queensland’s major producers of sugar]. Mackay is an amazing part of the Queensland Coast and is in the middle of a huge development boom - being one of the best places in Australia to invest, due to the low vacancy rate [0.5%] and high demand due to the increase in population.
