Question 1

Is Dundowran a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Dundowran is a semi-rural suburb near Hervey Bay, characterised by large low-density blocks, pockets of native bush and a mix of hobby farms, established homes and newer residential lots.

It is an older community, with many households owning their homes outright and couples without children making up 45.0% of families. Life leans towards outdoor living, with room for gardens, horses and sheds, quiet lanes and bushland to explore, and local roads provide straightforward links to Hervey Bay's shops, services and airport. A $7.16 million upgrade of Scrub Hill Road is funded through the Queensland Residential Activation Fund.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Dundowran?

Accepted Answer

House rents in Dundowran sit at about $645 a week. A typical local household earned about $1,403 a week at the most recent Census, so $645 a week would take roughly 46% of that weekly household income. For someone renting, that is a large share of a typical local household's income, and whether it feels expensive will depend on your own circumstances.

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