About Depot Hill
Depot Hill is an inner suburb of Rockhampton in Queensland's Central region, located approximately 2 kilometres south of the Rockhampton CBD near the banks of the Fitzroy River. The suburb covers about 3 square kilometres and had a population of 995 at the 2021 census. Depot Hill is considered a low socioeconomic area and is notably susceptible to flooding due to its low elevation and proximity to the Fitzroy River, which has historically inundated parts of the suburb during major flood events.
The suburb has a working-class character with a mix of long-term residents and renters in modest homes. The North Coast railway line passes through Depot Hill, and the area includes the historic Rockhampton Railway Workshops at its northern edge. Local landmarks include the Fitzroy Hotel and the Swamp Store. Depot Hill State School, which opened in 1920, serves the local community. The suburb's affordable housing attracts budget-conscious residents who value proximity to Rockhampton's services.
