As Mackay’s property market continues its upward trajectory, more homebuyers are turning to communities that deliver both convenience and value.

Located just 9km from the Mackay CBD, Ooralea Waters offers an unbeatable mix of affordability, lifestyle and location. With each land release selling out quickly, it’s clear that demand is only growing.

Mackay Leads the Way in Regional Price Growth

According to a Realestate.com.au article, Mackay led Queensland in property price growth – up nearly 19% for houses over a 12‑month period – ahead even of Brisbane or Sydney suburbs. Unit prices also jumped by about 20%.

This surge reflects a broader trend: buyers are looking to regional centres like Townsville, Rockhampton, Gladstone, and particularly Mackay for more affordable opportunities with strong long-term potential.

Affordability Meets Lifestyle

As capital city prices climb, regional centres are offering a compelling alternative. Mackay’s relatively low entry price, combined with ongoing infrastructure investment, continues to attract families, first-home buyers and investors alike.

Ooralea Waters: Positioned for Growth

Located along the banks of Bakers Creek, just south of Mackay, Ooralea Waters puts residents within easy reach of everything from workplaces and schools to shops and healthcare – all while offering land at a price point that remains attainable.

Its strategic location places buyers in an excellent position to benefit from Mackay’s ongoing property growth.

Why Land Releases are Selling so Fast

In a market where prices are rising and available land is becoming increasingly limited, Ooralea Waters is firmly on the radar for buyers looking to secure a well-located, lifestyle-rich address. With each new release, lots are snapped up quickly, with buyers drawn to a range of nearby established and future amenities, including:

  • Schools and childcare
  • Sporting and medical facilities
  • Retail and future town centres
  • Walking trails, scenic reserves and planned open spaces

It’s this combination of lifestyle and location that’s driving ongoing demand. Buyers recognise the opportunity to secure land in a high-growth area that still offers real value.
