Taranganba is a town and locality on the tropical Central Queensland coast in Australia.[2][3] It is within the local government area of Shire of Livingstone (between 2008 and 2013, it was within the Rockhampton Region). In the 2011 census, Taranganba had a population of 2,430 people.[1]
Geography
Taranganba is set back from Keppel Bay on a low broad hill that overlooks Cooee Bay and Yeppoon. It is centrally located on the Capricorn Coast, 3 km (1.9 mi) south of Yeppoon, and 16 km (9.9 mi) north of Emu Park.
Often regarded as a suburb of Yeppoon, Taranganba is in fact a separate locality. Like its neighbouring suburb Cooee Bay, Taranganba is separated from Yeppoon by Ross Creek.
Taranganba is largely residential with most homes being built since the 1970s. Cedar Park at Taranganba is the central shopping district for the area, and travelling from Yeppoon, it is the last significant shopping precinct until Emu Park.
Population
In the 2006 census, Taranganba had a population of 1882 people.[4]
Community
Taranganba is a steadily growing community. Several major land developments in Tarranganba and the neighbouring localities of Lammermoor and Taroombal are filling quickly with demand from the mining boom.[5]
Taranganba features a State Primary School and a Catholic School, while secondary students travel to Yeppoon. Taranganba State School opened on 1 February 1993.[6] At the time of their 2015 Annual Report, 670 students were enrolled.[7]
Many residents of Taranganba work in Rockhampton City and live on the coast.
Recent history
In the 2006 census, Taranganba had a population of 1,882 people.[4]
Prior to Local Government Amalgamations in 2008, the Capricorn Coast was administered by Livingstone Shire Council. From 2008 to 2013, it was part of Rockhampton Region. From 2014, the Shire of Livingstone was re-established and now administers Taranganba.
