Question 1

Is Dunedoo a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Dunedoo is a small country town in the central west of New South Wales that acts as a service centre for a surrounding mixed farming district. Its modest main street has essential shops and a pub, and housing tends toward older timber cottages and simple brick homes on generous blocks. Daily life centres on agriculture and local sport, and the community is largely farming families, tradespeople and people seeking a quieter pace. The town has 1,097 residents, a median age of 51 and a median household income of $985 a week. Owner-occupiers outnumber renters by about three to one.

There is active local investment in community facilities and services: Warrumbungle Shire Council has funded upgrades at Robertson Oval and is consulting on a new play space at Milling Park, with support from EnergyCo’s Central-West Orana REZ community funding. Water and aged-care projects are also under way, including a major sewage treatment upgrade, investigations into improved drinking-water treatment and progress on an Independent Living Project for the former hospital site. Whether Dunedoo suits you will depend on how much you value rural rhythms, local sport and ongoing civic work.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Dunedoo?

Accepted Answer

Renting a house in Dunedoo runs to about $480 a week. Against the median household income of $985 a week recorded at the last Census, that rent would take about 48.7% of a typical local household's weekly income, which is a large share of income.

If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the most relevant figure when judging how expensive it will feel; whether it feels manageable will depend 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.

Question 3

Is Dunedoo a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer
