Lifestyle and Liveability

Located in the heart of south-east Queensland, Somerset is a large region of lakes and landscapes, in fact we’ve got 5,373km2 of countryside for you to explore.

We’re home to the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, Australia’s longest recreational rail trail, 161km of high-quality track just waiting for you to cycle, hike or horse-ride. Our lakes are second to none and the perfect spot to drop a line or take a dip. Thrill seekers are covered with a range of outdoor adventures from skydiving to horse-riding.

Rush hour traffic? Forget it. When you live and work in Somerset, the work commute is likely to be through hills or paddocks under big blue skies. Parking is never a problem, and it’s free.

When you take a job with Somerset Regional Council, you’re making a choice for both career development and a better lifestyle.
