Question 1

Is Burrum Town a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Burrum Town sits on the Burrum River in the Fraser Coast and is shaped by mangroves, tidal creeklines and open river flats. It feels country-coastal rather than suburban, with low-density housing, older timber cottages and a handful of rural lots, and days often revolve around fishing, birdwatching and outdoor living. Shops and services are a short drive away in larger coastal centres such as Hervey Bay and Maryborough.

This small community of 197 has a median age of 59 and a typical household income of $744 a week. Families make up the bulk of households and most homes are owner-occupied (88.4% owned outright or with a mortgage, 11.5% rented). With no significant new infrastructure projects reported, Burrum Town keeps a slow estuarine character that will suit people seeking a quiet, water-oriented, low-density lifestyle and willing to travel for some services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Burrum Town?
