Furnished Housesin Gladstone.

“Gladstone is Queensland's working coastline.”

Gladstone sits 100km south of Rockhampton on Queensland's Curtis Coast and is one of Australia's most concentrated industrial economies — the LNG export terminals on Curtis Island, the QAL alumina refinery, the Boyne Smelter aluminium works, and the Gladstone Port (one of Australia's largest by tonnage) all sit within a 20km radius. The population is approximately 32,000, but the economy is heavily weighted toward shift-work in petrochemicals, alumina, port operations and shipping. Renter demographics are dominated by industrial workforces: process operators, project engineers, marine pilots, contracting trades, and a substantial cohort of FIFO workers on 2-week-on/1-week-off cycles connecting to mining and LNG operations. Healthcare, education and retail provide stable counter-balancing demand. Housing stock is dominated by post-1980s freestanding houses, with mid-rise apartments around the CBD and a small stock of newer units around the Marina. Walk Score in the CBD is moderate; most workers drive to the industrial precincts. Gladstone Airport runs direct flights to Brisbane (1 hour 20 minutes). Public transport is bus-based and limited. The Gladstone Marina, Tannum Sands beach (15km south), and the Curtis Island ferry to the LNG plants are local landmarks. The Boyne Tannum Sands area provides weekend recreation, and Heron Island (a 2-hour boat ride east) is the closest Great Barrier Reef destination. Typical furnished tenants are project engineers and trades on 6–12 month industrial contracts, FIFO workers using Gladstone as a base, healthcare staff at the hospital, and shipping and marine industry professionals on rotation. Adjacent precincts include Tannum Sands (15km south, beach satellite), Boyne Island (smelter-adjacent) and Calliope (south, more residential).
