About South Bingera

South Bingera is a rural residential locality in the Bundaberg Region of Queensland, situated approximately 16 kilometres south-west of Bundaberg along the Isis Highway. With a population of 674 according to the 2021 Census, the locality covers around 25 square kilometres bounded to the west and north by the Burnett River. The area records a below-average median household income, reflecting its predominantly agricultural character within Queensland's Wide Bay region.

The terrain in South Bingera varies from low-lying river flats to elevated ridges up to 70 metres above sea level, with rural residential development concentrated near Childers Road in the east and agricultural land occupying the areas closer to the Burnett River. While the wider Bundaberg region is synonymous with sugarcane farming, South Bingera's varied topography supports a mix of grazing, mixed cropping, and rural lifestyle properties.
