About Mulambin

Mulambin is a small coastal town in the Livingstone Shire, situated on Queensland's Capricorn Coast approximately 11 kilometres south-east of Yeppoon and 50 kilometres north-east of Rockhampton. The locality fronts the Coral Sea along the Scenic Highway, which runs as an esplanade between the beach and residential area, and borders Causeway Lake to the west. With a population of 917 at the 2021 census across a compact area of 5.7 square kilometres, Mulambin has a median household income of around $50,828, consistent with a modest coastal community.

Mulambin Beach is the defining feature of the locality, offering residents direct access to the calm waters of the Capricorn Coast within the broader Keppel Bay district. The western reaches of the locality are largely undeveloped, giving it a semi-natural edge alongside Mulambin Creek, which flows south into Causeway Lake. The nearest schools are in neighbouring Taranganba and Yeppoon, and residents rely on Yeppoon for shopping, dining, and services. Mulambin appeals to those who value a relaxed beachside lifestyle within easy reach of Rockhampton's amenities.

Mulambin falls under postcode 4703 and is governed by the Livingstone Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Capricornia, while state elections fall under the Keppel electorate.
