Question 1

Is Currie a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Currie is the principal township on King Island, sitting on the island’s windswept west coast around a working harbour that gives the town a maritime character. It serves as the island’s service centre, with local shops, basic community facilities and a compact street of low-rise homes and weatherboard cottages, while grazing country and rural properties radiate outward. Daily life mixes fishing and farming with outdoor pursuits on exposed beaches and coastal cliffs, and the town remains connected by regular air links to the Tasmanian mainland.

The community of 766 people has a median age of 48 and a typical household income of $1,242 a week (about $64,600 a year). Most families are couples, and about 69.4% of homes are owner-occupied while renters make up 30.6%. Local services include the King Island District Hospital and Health Centre, the King Island Multipurpose Centre and the Ochre Medical Centre. Public works are planned or underway, from wharf refurbishment and airport pavement upgrades to upgraded courts and road sealing. Whether Currie suits you depends on what you want from an island service town.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Currie?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Currie to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. Without those figures, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Currie compared with local incomes recorded at the most recent Census.
