Mackay is a sugar and mining services city on the central Queensland coast, with the Victoria Street and Sydney Street shops in the city centre, Caneland Central, Mackay Base Hospital, a busy harbour and marina, and the Bowen Basin coal mines to the west. The Queensland Police Service recorded 5,381 offences against the person and property in the Mackay police division in 2025-26, up from 5,209 the year before. Assault (956), other stealing (830), property damage (677) and thefts from vehicles (655) were among the largest groups.
Source: Queensland Police Service, reported offences by police division (offences against the person and property), 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Mackay as defined by the source. Queensland publishes figures by police division, and a division usually covers the town centre and several neighbouring suburbs, so these figures are for a wider area than the suburb itself. They are counts of offences recorded by police, not rates per resident. Regional centres draw people from surrounding districts for shopping, services, work and nightlife, so their counts are higher than their population alone would suggest. Recorded crime also depends on what is reported and how it is policed, and past figures do not predict future risk.
Housing stock: Elevated timber Queenslanders and post-war homes near the centre, low-set brick houses in newer suburbs, and units near the city and the harbour

Mackay security tip
Keep tools out of utes overnight
The Mackay division recorded 655 offences of stealing from or entering vehicles last year, and utes and work vehicles carrying tools are a common target. Take tools inside or lock them in a secured toolbox, park in a garage or behind a locked gate where you can, and cover driveways and work yards with cameras and sensor lighting.
Mackay homes and what they mean for security
Mackay's older streets have elevated timber Queenslanders and post-war homes with undercrofts and louvres, while newer suburbs to the north and west have low-set brick homes with double garages. Many households have trade or mining workers who keep work vehicles and tools at home, and some homes sit empty during fly-in fly-out and drive-in drive-out rosters. Cyclone season makes shutters and battery backup worth considering.
