More Information

The data on this website, including in the graphs and calculator, is approximate in nature and should not be relied upon.

Talking to a top local real estate agent is a good first step to determine what you may be required to pay to sell your property and to understand the local property market.

The graph and calculator use data collected by Which Real Estate Agent in 2019, and provides a state-wide average estimation of commission rate. The data presented should only be used as an indication of what you may be required to pay.

Be careful of extra fees that may be charged by a real estate agent. We recommend you properly review the agency agreement and cost schedules, so there are no surprises when you are presented with the final bill.

There is almost always room to negotiate commissions with agents. Do not be afraid to ask for an agent fee structure that favours your situation and ensures the agent does their job.

However, remember that an agent willing to drop their agent fees to rock-bottom are not likely to have your best interests at heart. Make sure you’re not just padding out someone else’s sales statistics - you should spend a little more to make more.

Heron Island Suburb Overview

Heron Island is a coral cay located near the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern Great Barrier Reef, 72 km north-east of Gladstone, Queensland, Australia, and 539 km north of the state capital Brisbane. The island is situated on the leeward side of Heron Reef, a fringing platform reef of significant biodiversity, supporting around 900 of the 1,500 fish species and 72% of the coral species found on the Great Barrier Reef.

The island is about 800 metres long and 300 metres at its widest, giving an area of approximately 16 hectares. The highest point, near the western tip, is 3.6 metres ASL. A dune ridge along the southern shore rises some 3 metres ASL, lower dunes on the northeastern side are only about one metre above the sea.

Heron Island and an extrapolated version of the research station are the scene of much of the first part of Arthur C. Clarke ‘s The Deep Range.

Heron Island was discovered on 12 January 1843 by the corvette HMS Fly. The ship was surveying the eastern edge of the Great Barrier Reef together with the cutter Bramble. The expedition was commanded by Captain Francis Blackwood and the reason for the expedition was mainly to map out detailed plans for safe passages within the reef. The island was named by Lieutenant Charles Bampfield Yule RN of the Bramble.

The island did not become inhabited until the early 20th century when a turtle cannery was established. The aim was to profit from the seasonal influx of green turtles, but the venture soon found it difficult to keep the business afloat. Other attempts at establishing fisheries were abandoned.

In 1932 Captain Christian Poulsen, engaged in bringing fishing parties to the reef, realised the potential of the island as a tourist attraction. In 1936 he bought the lease of the island for

Heron Island Resort, operated by Delaware North, is located in the north-west corner of the island. The resort is a popular getaway for scuba diving and snorkeling and accommodates up to 200 guests and 100 staff members. In March 2012 Heron Island Resort was featured in the BBC’s nature TV series, Great Barrier Reef.

The University of Queensland Heron Island Research Station is situated in the island’s south-west quarter. Established in the 1950s, the facility is one of the world’s principal coral reef research stations, with a wide variety of research undertaken on coral reef ecology. Heron Island Research Station suffered a large fire on Friday, 30 March 2007, just one day after a large group from Maclean High School left the island. After the initial speculation that one of the students caused the fire, investigations showed that an oxygen tank in the shark research lab had burst, causing several buildings including staff and student residences to be engulfed in flames. Luckily, no one was hurt.

In June 2008 the new student accommodation, comprising 80 beds, was officially opened and used for the first time by Tropical Marine Network students. The teaching laboratories and new research building with 9 research labs, library, darkroom, computer room and aquaria deck were officially reopened in February 2009.

The eastern half of the island is protected and forms part of the Capricornia Cays National Park, with a permanent ranger’s station onsite.

There is a small man-made channel and wooden jetty on the western shore of the island, where the daily catamaran launch from Gladstone docks and supplies to the island are delivered. The rusted wreck of the HMCS Protector lies at the entrance to the channel, and was towed to there in 1945 to form a dive and snorkelling site.
