The Whitsunday Shire is a fast
growing Region basking in the superb, tropical climate
of North Queensland. With an area of 2644 square kilometres
and an approximate resident population of 15,200,
the Whitsunday Shire is a major tourist destination
in Australia.
Encompassing
the rural town of Proserpine, the tourism based town
of Whitsunday (Cannonvale, Airlie Beach and Shute
Harbour) and the 74 Whitsunday Islands, the Shire's
economy relies on contributions from cane, tourism,
grazing, agriculture, small scale manufacturing and
a range of support industries.
Situated
on the central Queensland coast, the Shire offers
numerous advantages for living and investing, and
boasts the natural attributes of the Great Barrier
Reef, tropical islands, national parks, rural industries,
seaside towns and a great climate.
The
tropical climate is attractive with its estimated
daily average of 8.25 hours of sunshine, and average
annual temperatures of 27.24 degrees C. maximum and
a minimum of 21 degrees C.
The
Shire's southern neighbour is the City of Mackay,
and its northern and western neighbour is the Shire
of Bowen.
The
Whitsunday Shire is home to such towns as Proserpine,
Airlie Beach, Shute Harbour, Dingo Beach, and also
tropical resorts such as Hayman, Hamilton and Daydream
Islands to name a few. The region also encompasses
Conway National Park, and of course falls alongside
one of the world's greatest wonders, the Great Barrier
Reef.
