Hervey Bay

The Hervey Bay City Planning Scheme has been developed as the framework for managing and regulating development throughout the city.

Locations to be considered for your business are:

Commercial Areas

These are precincts that are suitable for retail and office environment, and the activities that have minimal impact on public facility and do not generate significant noise.

In the City area, commercial and industrial development is (and will continue to be) accommodated in defined zoned areas for commercial and retail development.

In the smaller urban areas, there are defined commercial centres, but some services will be located in the “village zone” and to a limited extent the “residential” areas.

The retail and commercial strategy for the City focuses on the following key areas:

  • Pialba
  • Boat Harbour Drive
  • Tourist nodes of Scarness, Torquay, Urangan and the Boat Harbour
  • Neighbourhood/cluster shopping
  • Local shops

Industrial Areas

These are precincts that are suitable for manufacturing and repairs, automotive industry, metalworkers, cabinetmakers. These areas allow some noise, some outside storage of materials and may be more suitable for certain business operations.

The development strategy for the City provides for industrial development in a number of key locations, and focuses the development of industrial uses within the established and/or zoned industrial areas in the City.

General Industry is located at Urangan (Pulgul Creek and Ellengowan Street) and the Lower Mountain Road/Burrum Heads Road area.

Light/Service industry is located at Elizabeth Street and in the Islander Road area.
