WELCOME...
Miles is an urban centre in the heart of the Darling Downs district; 130km north-west of Dalby and 330 km north-west of Brisbane. Miles offers great opportunities for both living and working. Miles is a freight hub located on the cross roads of the Warrego Highway and the Leichardt Highway, central to resource projects and surrounded by quality agricultural land. The proximity to Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport and the Port of Brisbane deliver considerable economic and social benefits. Miles is open for business and we are inviting retailers, franchisors and investors to explore opportunities. The Miles district offers an authentic country lifestyle combined with all the conveniences of modern living. The costs of living are significantly lower than the Queensland average, whilst services are plentiful and maintained to a high level. The year-round events calendar is full of opportunities to socialise with friends or family, whether it’s at the Miles Back to the Bush Festival, local races, festivals, markets or arts and cultural exhibitions. Whatever your needs or interest, Miles has something to offer to you.
