About Roseneath
Roseneath is an outer locality on the southern fringe of Townsville in North Queensland, situated approximately 13.8 kilometres south of the Townsville CBD within the City of Townsville local government area. With a 2021 Census population of 127 residents across 10.7 square kilometres, it is a sparsely populated community at the edge of the Townsville urban area. The median household income of around $56,108 is broadly in line with the greater Townsville region, and the area is characterised by low-density residential and semi-rural land use.
Roseneath sits in a transitional zone between the outer Townsville suburbs and the open countryside to the south, with views toward Mount Stuart offering a scenic rural backdrop. Day-to-day services are accessible in nearby Stuart and through the broader Townsville network, which includes major shopping centres, hospitals, and James Cook University. The suburb's low density, semi-rural feel, and proximity to the regional city make it suited to residents who prefer a quieter lifestyle on the outskirts of a thriving North Queensland city.
Roseneath 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.
