The Whitsundays are located 1100km north of Brisbane, and 600 south of Cairns. The town of Airlie Beach is the most popular launch point for trips to the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef. The rural town of Proserpine, and the coastal settlements of Airlie Beach, Cannonvale and Shute Harbour all form part of the Whitsunday Shire along with 74 magnificent resort and national park islands and other regional settlements both coastal and rural. The region benefits from a year-round tropical climate, without the intense humidity of the northern cities or the winter chills of the south-eastern part of the state.

With an average annual temperature of between 21°C and 27°C, a daily average of over eight hours of sunshine and above average rainfall, the Whitsundays are a very pleasant place to live in the current climate. While south-eastern Queensland enforces level four water restrictions, the Whitsunday Shire remains on the lowest level. More than half of the 2600km² Shire is national park, ensuring limited development possibilities and the retention of the area’s natural beauty.

The population of the Whitsunday Shire is growing at almost twice the state average, making it the fastest growing Local Government Area in Queensland. In the year to June 2006, the local population grew by 3.6% while the state of Queensland's population grew by 2.0% and Australia grew by 1.2%.

The 10 year price growth for Cannon vale has been 16.9% for semi detached dwellings, with 28.5% growth over the past 5 years.

Some settlements have occurred with more scheduled over the coming months.
