St Leonards was gazetted as a locality in 1963.[2]
The North Esk River forms the southern boundary and almost all of the western boundary.[3]
The Tasman Highway (A3) passes through a small section of the north-west of the locality, and subsequently also passes through the north-east corner. The C401 route (St Leonards Road) starts at an intersection with A3 in the north-west corner and runs south-east through the locality and town before exiting in the south-west. The C403 route is in two sections within the locality, both starting / ending in the town. The western section (Johnston Road) starts at an intersection with C401 and runs south-west before exiting. The eastern section (Abels Hill Road) starts at an intersection with C401 and runs north-east before ending at an intersection with the A3.[2]
