Question 1

Is Burrum Town a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Burrum Town is set near the Burrum River estuary and has a village-like feel, with tree-lined streets, pockets of mangroves and Miller Park.

The population was 197 at the 2021 Census, and the community is described as older, with many households owning their homes outright and incomes below the median for Queensland. Everyday life is shaped by the estuary, with boating, fishing and birdwatching common pastimes; Miller Park provides a local public reserve, and shops and regional services are reached by road in nearby Maryborough and Hervey Bay.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Burrum Town?

Accepted Answer

For Burrum Town, only the local household income is available. At the most recent Census the median total household income was $744 a week. There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Burrum Town 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.
