About Tungamull

Tungamull is a rural locality in the Livingstone Shire of Central Queensland, situated approximately 27 kilometres north-east of Rockhampton CBD and around 25 kilometres west of Yeppoon on the Capricorn Coast. With a population of 429 residents across 55 square kilometres of rolling hinterland, Tungamull occupies a quiet semi-rural position between Queensland's largest inland city and the popular coastal resort town of Yeppoon. The locality falls under the Livingstone Shire Council and the state electoral district of Keppel.

The Tungamull area is characterised by low-density acreage living with a mix of grazing land and rural residential properties typical of the Rockhampton hinterland. Residents are within easy reach of Rockhampton's full range of urban services — including hospitals, schools, and major shopping centres — while also a short drive from the beaches and seafood dining of the Capricorn Coast at Yeppoon. The median household income of approximately $49,000 reflects a working community with ties to both the agricultural and resources sectors that underpin the Central Queensland economy.

Tungamull falls under postcode 4702 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Rockhampton electorate.
