Question 1

Is Allanson a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Allanson is a small rural settlement on the edge of Collie, set among remnant jarrah forest and cleared farmland. With a population of 591 and a median age of 45, life there centres on a rural lifestyle: standalone weatherboard or brick homes and larger acreage blocks, outdoor pursuits and community activities. The community is dominated by couple families and homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied (89.7%), with long-term farming and forestry residents alongside newcomers seeking a low-key base near town.

Everyday shops, schools and larger services are in nearby Collie and reached via local roads rather than frequent public transport. The suburb has had a state-led remediation project at the former Black Diamond open-cut mine and Abandoned Mines Program involvement is complete. The Shire of Collie's planning strategy includes the Allanson townsite and townsite maps are published by council. Whether Allanson suits you comes down to whether you want a rural, low-density place close to Collie.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Allanson?

Accepted Answer

Allanson hasn't had enough recent sales or rentals to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without those, there isn't a clear picture of how expensive it is to live in Allanson compared with local incomes at the last Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
