The suburb is principally used for industrial purposes. The North Coast railway line passes from south to north through the suburb with the Mackay railway station located in Paget.[3] The land is flat and low-lying (below 10 metres above sea level). The western part of the suburb is principally used for industrial purposes benefitting from the proximity of road and rail access while the eastern oceanside part of the suburb is much less developed.[3] The Bakers Creek Conservation Park occupies the south-east headland created by Bakers Creek entering into the Coral Sea.[3] It is a protected area due to the need to preserve the shorebird habitat consisting of intertidal zones and mangroves; it has been declared a nationally important area for shorebirds. It has a population of the vulnerable species Eracus neglectus (beach stone-curlew). It is considered of internationally significant for migrating shorebirds such as the Charadrius mongolus (lesser sand plover), Numenius madagascariensis (eastern curlew), Calidris tenuirostris (great knot) and Haematopus fuliginosus (sooty oystercatcher).[4] HistoryThe suburb takes its name from the Paget Junction railway station, which, in turn, was named by Queensland Railways Department on 30 October 1913, in honour of politician Walter Trueman Paget who was the Secretary for Railways 1908 to 1915.In 1943, Paget Junction was shortened to Paget.[2] References1. ^{{Census 2016 AUS |id=SSC32271|name=Paget (State Suburb)|accessdate=18 April 2018|quick=on}} {{Mackay Region}}{{Queensland-geo-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite QPN|46823|Paget|suburb in Mackay Region|accessdate=6 August 2017}} 3. ^1 2 {{Queensland Globe|accessdate=8 August 2017}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.npsr.qld.gov.au/managing/plans-strategies/pdf/bakers-creek-conservation-park-2000.pdf|title=Bakers Creek Conservation Park|last=|first=|date=|website=Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service|publisher=Queensland Government|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170808065617/https://www.npsr.qld.gov.au/managing/plans-strategies/pdf/bakers-creek-conservation-park-2000.pdf|archive-date=8 August 2017|dead-url=no|access-date=8 August 2017}} 1 : Mackay Region |
