Question 1

Is Cootharaba a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Cootharaba is a low-density, rural lakeside locality in the Noosa hinterland centred on Lake Cootharaba and the upper reaches of the Noosa River. The area is dominated by acreage blocks, small farms and timber cottages alongside newer homes, and it draws people who want water-based recreation, bushwalking and a quieter lifestyle away from the coast. A small foreshore village at Boreen Point provides a local focus for boating and gatherings, while most errands and services are reached by road in neighbouring towns.

The community of 866 people has a median age of 48 and is weighted towards couple families, with a high rate of owner-occupation. Council-led recovery works after recent floods have repaired damaged sites and there has been a council land purchase to protect a wildlife corridor on the Cootharaba Range. A small, part-time outdoor education centre is under consideration by council, and current council listings show no capital projects scheduled for Cootharaba. Whether it suits you will come down to how much you value a lakeside, rural setting with close access to bushwalking and boating.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Cootharaba?

Accepted Answer

Cootharaba's median total household income as recorded at the most recent Census is $1,465 a week, but there haven't been enough recent sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices or rent figures. Without current price or rent data, it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live in Cootharaba 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 Cootharaba a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Cootharaba hasn't had enough recent sales to put reliable figures on how house or unit prices and rents have moved over the past year, which is common in smaller or quieter markets. Without those numbers, there isn't a clear picture of how the suburb has performed as an investment lately.
