About Silverleaf

Silverleaf is a small rural locality in the South Burnett Region of Queensland, situated approximately 15 kilometres south-east of Wondai and around 35 kilometres from Kingaroy, the region's largest town. Administered by the South Burnett Regional Council, the locality covers 33.5 square kilometres of farming country and recorded a population of 73 at the 2021 Census. The area is characterised by rolling hills, cleared farmland, and the understated charm typical of the South Burnett's agricultural hinterland.

Silverleaf has a quiet pastoral character, with the surrounding land used predominantly for mixed cropping and grazing. The locality is home to Silverleaf Weir, a small water storage feature that adds to the rural landscape. Essential services are available in Wondai and Murgon, while larger regional needs are met in Kingaroy. The area has a small but settled community, and those who live here appreciate the wide-open spaces, clean air, and the slower pace that comes with rural Queensland life.

Silverleaf falls under postcode 4605 and is governed by the South Burnett Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Flynn, while state elections fall under the Nanango electorate.
