About Midge Point
Midge Point is a small coastal locality in the Mackay Region of Queensland, located approximately 102 kilometres north-west of Mackay and 35.5 kilometres south-south-east of Proserpine. Situated on the Coral Sea coast between Bloomsbury and the Laguna Quays precinct, it enjoys a tropical setting with warm temperatures and access to coastal waterways. With a 2021 Census population of 435, Midge Point is a quiet, low-density locality that appeals to those seeking a relaxed beachside lifestyle away from urban centres.
The area is closely associated with Laguna Quays, a marina and resort precinct nearby that provides additional facilities including dining and boating infrastructure. Midge Point's appeal lies largely in its natural surroundings — the Coral Sea coastline, tropical wetlands, and opportunities for fishing and water-based recreation draw visitors and residents alike. Public transport is essentially non-existent, and a private vehicle is required for all daily needs; Proserpine and Mackay serve as the nearest regional centres for shopping, healthcare, and major services.
Midge Point falls under postcode 4799 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Whitsunday electorate.
