About Coominglah Forest

Coominglah Forest is a sparsely populated rural locality in Queensland's Central Highlands region, situated approximately 60 kilometres south-west of Biloela in the Callide electorate. The locality spans over 418 square kilometres of open scrub, eucalypt woodland, and dry forest country typical of inland central Queensland. With no recorded census population, the area functions primarily as grazing land and native forest rather than a residential community.

The vast, undeveloped landscape of Coominglah Forest reflects the broad pastoral character of central Queensland's interior. Residents and landholders in the surrounding region rely on Biloela for all essential services, schools, and shopping, roughly an hour's drive away. The area is suited to those who value remote, rural living and wide open spaces, with the nearby Kroombit Tops National Park offering natural bushland experiences.

Coominglah Forest falls under postcode 4630 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.
