About Walterhall

Walterhall is a small residential locality in Queensland's Rockhampton Region, positioned immediately north-west of and directly adjacent to the historic town of Mount Morgan, effectively forming a residential fringe of that community. Covering a compact area of less than one square kilometre, the locality recorded a population of 156 at the 2021 Census and falls within the Rockhampton Regional Council area, approximately 38 kilometres south-west of Rockhampton city. Its modest size and tight integration with Mount Morgan give Walterhall the character of a quiet residential extension rather than a stand-alone suburb.

Residents of Walterhall have ready access to Mount Morgan's local shops, primary school, community centre, and the town's remarkable mining heritage — Mount Morgan was once one of the world's richest gold and copper mines, and the open-cut mine site and town museum are significant regional attractions. Rockhampton is easily reached via the Mount Morgan Road, providing access to major retail, hospitals, and services of a regional centre. The surrounding landscape of open eucalypt woodland and the Dee River valley gives the area a pleasant, rural fringe character for those seeking affordable living close to a heritage township.

Walterhall falls under postcode 4714 and is governed by the Rockhampton Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Flynn, while state elections fall under the Mirani electorate.
