Wandoan is located in the heart of the Darling Downs district; 270km west of Gympie and 60km north of Miles. Wandoan offers great opportunities for both living and working. Wandoan is located on the Leichardt Highway, central to resource projects and surrounded by quality agricultural land. Wandoan has land zoned that allows for low and medium impact industry. The proximity to Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport and the Port of Brisbane deliver considerable economic and social benefits. Wandoan is open for business and we are inviting retailers, franchisors and investors to explore opportunities. The Wandoan 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.
