SUBURB SPOTLIGHT: The Wonders of Warana

Step into the allure of Warana, where the coastal beauty harmonises with the warmth of a tight-knit community. It is one of four suburbs in the Kawana Waters coastal residential project begun in 1960 by Alfred Grant Pty Ltd in conjunction with Queensland Government and the Landsborough Shire Council. The name was proposed by Alfred Grant, relying on a doubtful source for Aboriginal words and their meanings: one of Justine Kenyon’s editions of The Aboriginal Word Book (Lothian, Melbourne) apparently stated that Warana meant ‘blue sky’. We’re excited to unravel the unique charm and distinctive features of this coastal haven.

On the inland side of Nicklin Way lies the Wyuna Canal, home to the Kawana Waters Nursing Home and The Palms residential estate. Journeying south along Nicklin Way, you’ll encounter the Warana Village shopping centre, backed by an industrial estate housing technology, warehouses, and small-business ventures.
