Question 1

Is Alligator Creek a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Alligator Creek is a semi-rural suburb centred on the watercourse Alligator Creek, with bushland, open paddocks and creekside reserves shaping everyday life.

It is a community of families with children, with couple families with children making up 55.4% of families and many households buying their homes, and incomes above the Queensland median; local roads link residents to Mackay's shops and services and there are walking and fishing spots close to home. Monitoring reported juvenile barramundi and other native fish in restored wetlands after works that added rock fish ladders, deep refuge pools and revegetation funded through Reef Catchments and the Australian Government's Reef Trust.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Alligator Creek?

Accepted Answer

At the last Census, a typical household in Alligator Creek had a median total household income of $2,321 a week.

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Alligator Creek to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes.

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