Rosedale is a rural town and locality split between the Gladstone Region and the Bundaberg Region in central Queensland, Australia. In the 2016 census the locality of Rosedale had a population of 438 people.

Geography

The town is 423 kilometres (263 mi) north of the state capital Brisbane and 58 kilometres (36 mi) north west of the regional centre of Bundaberg. The town is on the North Coast railway line.

Most of the locality is in the Gladstone Region but a small southern part on the shores of Lake Monduran is in the Bundaberg Region.

There has been some interest in the Rosedale community regarding breaking away from the Gladstone Region.
