About Bangalee

Bangalee is a tiny beachside locality on Queensland's Capricorn Coast, situated within the Livingstone Shire approximately 10 kilometres north-north-east of Yeppoon and 51 kilometres north-west of Rockhampton. Covering just 0.14 square kilometres, it is one of the smallest localities on the Capricorn Coast — essentially two streets of residential housing tucked beside the Coral Sea, entirely surrounded by the neighbouring locality of Farnborough. The 2021 Census recorded a population of 225 residents, reflecting a 21 per cent growth from 186 people in 2016.

Bangalee offers residents a quiet coastal lifestyle directly on the beach, with the atmosphere of a small, close-knit seaside community. The Capricorn Coast is known for its calm waters, sandy beaches, and relaxed pace of life, and Bangalee's position beside the Coral Sea puts it squarely in this lifestyle zone. Yeppoon, with its shops, restaurants, and services, is a short drive away, while Rockhampton provides broader retail, medical, and employment options. The locality suits those seeking a genuine beachside lifestyle away from the crowds, with the Great Barrier Reef and Keppel Bay Islands accessible from nearby boat ramps.

Bangalee falls under postcode 4703 and is governed by the Livingstone Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Capricornia, while state elections fall under the Keppel electorate.
