About the region

Located approximately 500 kms west of Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane, the Maranoa region is renowned for its prosperous rural lifestyle and friendly communities.

Covering 58,830km2, the Maranoa region is made up of several townships and communities with Roma as its central hub. Each town has its own individual charm and all share a welcoming attitude and a strong sense of country hospitality.

The region itself has a population of around 13,000, but services a broader population of nearly 30,000 across South West Queensland.

Maranoa Regional Council was officially formed on March 15, 2008 as part of the Queensland Local Government Reform processes introduced by the Queensland State Government. The new Council area was established through the amalgamation of Roma Town Council, Bungil Shire Council, Bendemere Shire Council, Waroo Shire Council and Booringa Shire Council.

Towns in the Maranoa include Roma, Hodgson, Muckadilla, Injune, Eumamurrin, Bymount, Mitchell, Amby, Dunkeld, Mungallala, Surat, Begonia, Teelba, Wycombe, Wallumbilla, Yuleba, Jackson and Noonga.

The Maranoa region offers something to everyone, whether you are looking for somewhere to live, work or holiday.
