About Brooklands

Brooklands is a rural locality in the South Burnett Region of Queensland, situated approximately 30 kilometres south-east of Kingaroy and around 200 kilometres north-west of Brisbane. With a 2021 Census population of 324 residents across a substantial 90 square kilometres of agricultural land, the area is sparsely settled farming country in the South Burnett Council local government area. The postcode median household income of around $36,565 reflects the region's rural and agricultural economic base.

Brooklands sits in the heart of the South Burnett — one of Queensland's premier agricultural regions, known for peanut farming, beef cattle, and an emerging wine industry centred around Kingaroy. The vast, open landscape is typical of Queensland's Toowoomba region hinterland, with broad grazing properties and cropping farms defining the character of the locality. Amenities are limited to those available in Kingaroy, and a car is essential for everyday life. Brooklands appeals to those who value wide-open spaces, a close-knit rural community, and the self-sufficient lifestyle of Queensland's inland farming heartland.

Brooklands falls under postcode 4615 and is governed by the South Burnett Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Maranoa, while state elections fall under the Nanango electorate.
