The Irwin mango grows to about 3m, making it the smallest of the mango trees that Daley's sell.

Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries says at, http://www2.dpi.qld.gov.au/horticulture/5374.html
"Irwin is a medium sized tree, with a semi-open canopy and slightly spreading branch habit. Six year old trees are typically 5 metres high with a canopy diameter of 4 metres."

From what I read, if it is grown in a pot (bonsai bag), 3 metres or less is a realistic outcome.

Mangoes are sensitive to cold, but as the Sunshine Coast is a mango growing region, the Gold Coast with similar weather should be OK. Anyhow Kyogle is further south (and inland) than the Gold Coast, so that should say it all.
