About Cheltenham

Cheltenham is a very small rural locality in Queensland's North Burnett region, west of Gayndah and south-west of Eidsvold. It has a tiny population and a broad land area used mainly for grazing and rural activity. Settlement is sparse, with large properties and limited built infrastructure. The locality's character is remote-country and agricultural.

Lifestyle in Cheltenham is quiet and highly car-dependent, with residents typically travelling to Eidsvold, Gayndah or other centres for services. Local amenities are minimal, so schooling, health and larger shopping trips are regional. Public transport is limited and low frequency compared with urban areas. The area suits people seeking low-density rural living and strong ties to agricultural districts.

Cheltenham falls under postcode 4627 and is governed by the North Burnett Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Flynn, while state elections fall under the Callide electorate.
