Innes Park suburb profile

Innes Park is a small coastal suburb in the Bundaberg region, lying along a quiet stretch of beach just south of Bargara. It has a village-like feel, with a sandy foreshore, coastal reserves and low-rise streets of holiday units, modest weatherboard cottages and newer brick homes. Residents are often families, retirees and people who keep holiday houses, drawn to a lifestyle of beach walks, fishing and relaxed outdoor living. Local shops are limited, so most day-to-day services are found in nearby Bargara and Bundaberg, making Innes Park a quieter seaside alternative close to regional facilities.
