Reviews of Kawungan, QLD
"Family Friendly Central Gem"
Kawungan is a great spot in Hervey Bay for a bunch of reasons.
First off, it’s super convenient. You can easily get to shops, schools, and parks without much hassle.
Plus, there’s plenty of amenities nearby, so you don’t have to travel far for anything you need. Even the beach is only a 4 minute drive from my house.
On top of that, it’s known for being one of the safer suburbs in the area, which is a big plus, especially for families.
Overall, Kawungan has a nice community vibe, making it a really appealing place to live.

"Not what it is cracked up to be."
Many people finding it hard to live anywhere within the Fraser Coast Council boundary (in 2014) because of excessive rate increases on an annual basis, petrol costs 20cents litre more than Brisbane, and there is really nothing to do here - it is God's waiting room. The weather is perfect, and that is the sole reason I live here.
Great for
- Will never flood
- Quiet suburb in terms of street traffic
- Close to shopping centre and Aldi
- Great weather
- No insect problems at all where we live
Not great for
- Unfriendliest place I have ever lived
"Sandfly Heaven"
Our family rented in the area, the sandfly at dusk are crazy and the mosquitoes are all the time 24/7. Nowthe area also has aircraft to deal with. You could be forgiven for thinking sometimes was it a mozzie, no, was it a plane!!

Sand flies and planes are more of a problem in the Urangan/Wondunna area of town. Kawungan is nowhere near the airport.
