Boyne Island is Tannum Sands' twin across the Boyne River, a residential and industrial community built around the aluminium smelter.
Building a shed in Boyne Island
Boyne Smelters has operated here since 1982, and Council describes the island as combining residential, business and industrial land. That mix brings enquiries for trade workshops and storage sheds alongside family garages.
Boyne Island is overwhelmingly houses: 87.7% of occupied dwellings in 2021, with just 1.6% townhouse-style, and a median age of 37.
Like the rest of the Gladstone region it is in cyclonic Region C, so doors, windows and fixings are rated for cyclonic wind and every shed needs building approval.
