Emerald is a town in the Central Highlands Region of Queensland, situated on the Nogoa River approximately 270 kilometres west of Rockhampton. It serves as the major service centre for the region's agricultural and mining industries and is the headquarters for the Central Highlands Regional Council. The town had a population of 14,904 at the 2021 census. Emerald's economy is diverse, encompassing agriculture, mining, and renewable energy. Agricultural products include cotton, grain, citrus, and sunflower cultivation, and the town is an important freight and logistics hub for Central Queensland. The town offers a range of schools from early learning through to tertiary pathways, a district hospital, and a variety of health and wellness services. Housing is more affordable than in metropolitan areas, and a 90-minute flight to Brisbane makes it easy to stay connected with family and friends. When it comes to recreation, the Emerald Regional Botanic Gardens are perfect for morning walks and family outings, while Lake Maraboon draws locals for water sports, fishing, and camping. Sports enthusiasts are well catered for, with options ranging from rugby league and netball to go-karting and camp drafting. Emerald's community is friendly, active, and welcoming — rich in country spirit, social events, and a strong family and sporting culture. Job opportunities are plentiful, often with higher-than-average pay, making it a place many move to for a few years and end up calling home long-term.
