About Dundas

Dundas is a rural locality in South East Queensland, situated approximately 60 kilometres west of Brisbane CBD in the Ipswich hinterland. Covering around 123 square kilometres, it recorded a 2021 Census population of 58 residents. The locality falls within the broader Ipswich region and is characterised by a mix of bushland, rural properties, and rural residential acreage typical of the outer Brisbane commuter belt.

Despite its semi-rural character, Dundas benefits from its relatively close proximity to Ipswich, which offers extensive shopping, hospitals, schools, and transport connections. The Somerset Dam and Lake Wivenhoe are nearby, providing popular fishing, camping, and boating destinations. Growing rural residential development in the wider Ipswich hinterland means the area is increasingly popular with families seeking affordable acreage. A car is essential for daily life as public transport does not extend to this locality.

Dundas falls under postcode 4306 and is governed by the Somerset Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Wright, while state elections fall under the Scenic Rim electorate.
