Question 1

Is Bellingham a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Bellingham is a very small coastal village at the mouth of the Pipers River with sandy beaches, rocky headlands and a mix of weatherboard cottages and holiday houses. The community blends long-term residents with weekenders and seasonal visitors who come for fishing, boating and shoreline walks, and everyday life centres on outdoor coastal living and birdlife. Basic shops and services are in nearby George Town and regional roads link to larger centres.

There are 78 residents and the median age is 58. All homes are owner-occupied, 55.6% owned outright and 44.4% with a mortgage. Local facilities include a small public boat ramp on Albert Street, a camping ground and a tennis court; the ramp is a single-lane concrete ramp with a pontoon, exposed in northerly weather and restricted at low tide, and funding has been announced for an upgrade. Council road works have been carried out, and some council decisions to demolish community halls and other public facilities have been controversial.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Bellingham?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Bellingham, TAS 7254 to publish reliable median house or unit prices or average rents. Because only the suburb's median household income as recorded at the last Census is available, there's not enough information to say how expensive it is to live in Bellingham compared with what a typical local household earned 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.

Accepted Answer
