[3] The Bundaberg General Cemetery occupies the southern corner of the suburb extending west into Avoca.

The northern part of the suburb is used for agriculture, a mix of growing sugarcane and grazing on native vegetation.

[3] In 1869 a cemetery was established a block bounded by Woongarra, Maryborough, Woondooma and McLean Streets (in present-day Bundaberg Central).

[4] It was quickly recognised this could not be a long-term option and a new site of 40 acres (16 ha) was reserved for a new cemetery (now within Millbank) and burials commenced there in 1873.

Smaller businesses are generally located in the centre of the suburb and include a fish and chip shop and Thai restaurant.
