Question 1

Is Cooloola Cove a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Cooloola Cove sits beside sheltered inlets and mangrove-lined waterways near Tin Can Bay and the Cooloola section of Great Sandy National Park.

The suburb is an older community with many couples without children at home and a high level of outright home ownership (59.4%). A small village centre supplies local shops and services, and there are boat ramps, walking tracks and nearby national park country for boating, fishing and bushwalking. The council is developing walking network plans under the Active Transport Grants program, with community engagement sessions held.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Cooloola Cove?

Accepted Answer

Buying a house in Cooloola Cove sits well above what local households earn. The median house price of $745,500 is about 17.7 times a typical local annual household income, using the median weekly household income of $808 from the most recent Census.

Renting a house at $550 a week would take about 68% of that weekly household income, which is a large share for a typical local household. If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the figure that matters and whether it feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances.

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