About Causeway Lake

Causeway Lake is a small coastal locality on Queensland's Capricorn Coast, situated within the Livingstone Shire approximately 11.6 kilometres southeast of Yeppoon and 49 kilometres northeast of Rockhampton. With a population of around 121 residents, the area is named for the causeway that crosses the tidal lake system connecting the locality to the broader coastline. Its low-density character and coastal setting make it a quiet retreat from larger regional centres.

The area attracts fishing enthusiasts, holiday-makers, and retirees drawn to its waterfront access and proximity to the Capricorn Coast's beaches and national parks. The tidal lake and surrounding wetlands provide excellent fishing, birdwatching, and kayaking opportunities. Nearby Yeppoon offers shopping, schools, and medical services, while Rockhampton serves as the major regional hub for employment and higher-order services.

Causeway Lake 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.
