About Kyoomba

Kyoomba is a small rural locality in the Southern Downs Region of Queensland, located approximately 10 kilometres east of Stanthorpe on the road to Eukey in the heart of the Granite Belt. Covering just over 8.5 square kilometres, the locality is nestled among granite-strewn hills at high elevation, with Quart Pot Creek — which flows from the nearby Storm King Dam — forming part of its boundary. With a 2021 Census population of 83 residents across 35 dwellings, Kyoomba is a quiet semi-rural community with predominantly grazing land use and a scattering of rural residential properties. The broader Granite Belt region is renowned as Queensland's coolest wine country and a premier apple and stone fruit growing area.

The proximity to Storm King Dam makes Kyoomba an attractive location for those who enjoy fishing, kayaking, and watersports, with the dam a popular recreational spot for both locals and visitors to the Stanthorpe area. Stanthorpe, the nearest service town, offers supermarkets, schools, healthcare, cafes, and the celebrated Granite Belt wineries and cideries that draw visitors year-round. The surrounding landscape is characterised by rocky outcrops, native bushland, and orchards typical of the Granite Belt highlands. Kyoomba's cool-climate setting and scenic rural character make it popular with hobby farmers, tree-changers, and those seeking a relaxed country lifestyle within reach of Stanthorpe's amenities.

Kyoomba falls under postcode 4380 and is governed by the Southern Downs Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Maranoa, while state elections fall under the Southern Downs electorate.
