Question 1

Is Bidwill a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Bidwill is a semi-rural suburb on the western fringe of Hervey Bay, with low-density acreage blocks and pockets of eucalypt bush that give it a distinctly country feel. Housing ranges from older farms to newer residential lots along quiet streets, and it suits people who want space for gardens, sheds and hobby animals, including families, tradespeople and retirees. The pace is relaxed and rural while Hervey Bay’s beaches, foreshore and shopping centres are a short drive away.

It is a small community of 517 people with a median age of 49 and a typical household income of $1,490 a week (about $77,480 a year). Most homes are owner-occupied — 49.7% owned outright and 40.7% owned with a mortgage — and the population includes couple families with and without children alongside one-parent and other families. Local services are limited so residents rely on nearby centres for schools, shops and medical care. Little Tinana Recreation Reserve provides local green space and there are no significant new public infrastructure or civic-amenity projects reported for the area.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Bidwill?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Bidwill to publish reliable house or unit price and rent figures, so current buying and renting costs aren't available for comparison. With only the ABS median household income recorded at the most recent Census, it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in Bidwill 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.

Question 3

Is Bidwill a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Bidwill (4650) hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable 12-month figures on how house or unit values and rents have moved. Without those published figures, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb performed as an investment over the past year.
