About Oak Valley
Oak Valley is a rural residential locality situated approximately 21 kilometres south of Townsville's city centre within the City of Townsville local government area. With a population of 478 residents across nearly 17 square kilometres, the area offers a semi-rural lifestyle on the southern fringe of one of North Queensland's largest cities. The median household income of around $56,000 reflects a stable working population, many of whom commute to Townsville for employment.
Oak Valley has a relaxed, semi-rural character with larger residential lots and a quieter pace than Townsville's inner suburban areas. Residents have easy access to Townsville's full range of services — including Stockland Townsville shopping centre, hospitals, and schools — via a short drive north along the Bruce Highway. The surrounding landscape of tropical North Queensland, with open eucalypt bushland and views toward the coastal ranges, gives Oak Valley a distinctive country feel within comfortable reach of city conveniences.
Oak Valley falls under postcode 4811 and is governed by the Townsville Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Kennedy, while state elections fall under the Townsville electorate.
