Lakes Creek is a suburb split between Rockhampton Region and Shire of Livingstone, Queensland, Australia.

The developed land in the suburb is predominantly near the river approx 10 to 20 metres (33 to 66 ft) above sea level (and is entirely within the Rockhampton Region).

[7] On 14 September 1871, residents of the area who were mostly employees of the Central Queensland Meat Preserving Company held a meeting to establish a school in the area at which it was estimated that 25 children would attend the school if established.

[8] Although the building was completed in January 1872,[9] Lakes Creek Provisional School did not open until 1 October 1872 but closed in 1874, reopening on 21 May 1877.

[10][11] In July 1894, the Queensland Government decided that the numbers of students in the area warranted a state school.
