Geography

New Auckland is bounded to the north by the Dawson Highway and to the south by Kirkwood Road. It is bounded to the east by Auckland Creek and to the west by Briffney Creek. The land use is suburban residential. The Moura railway line passes through the north-east corner of the suburb.

History

This suburb was named in December 1988, taking its name from the housing estate name, which takes its name from Auckland Creek, which takes its name in turn from the ship Lord Auckland. The ship was a barque of 516 gross tons, chartered by the New South Wales Government which carried some of the settlers to the first settlement of Gladstone site, which stranded on a shoal entering Gladstone Harbour on 25 January 1847.
