Question 1

Is Goondi Bend a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Goondi Bend is a semi-rural suburb on the outskirts of Innisfail, set on low-lying river flats beside the Johnstone River and framed by sugarcane paddocks. It mixes low-density residential blocks and small farms, with established weatherboard homes and newer houses on generous yards. Road links mean Innisfail's shops and services are readily accessible, so day-to-day needs sit alongside outdoor pursuits, tropical scenery, nearby rainforest and beaches. Local assets include Goondi State School, Reserve Park and a community-funded cricket pitch, and the area is named in regional planning as the Goondi Bend Industrial Area. The council is also progressing drainage solutions as part of wider flood-resilience investment and there have been local road upgrades.

Home to about 570 people with a median age of 39 and a median household income of $1,022 a week (about $53,000 a year), Goondi Bend is a suburb of families and is mostly owner-occupied (67.9% owner-occupied, 32.1% rented). That combination of space, yards and access to town services makes it a fit for people who want a quieter, country-by-the-coast lifestyle while remaining close to Innisfail; whether it suits you will depend on what you want from your neighbourhood.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Goondi Bend?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Goondi Bend to put reliable figures on what homes cost to buy or rent. Without current price or rent figures, the suburb's median household income recorded at the most recent Census alone doesn't give a clear picture of how expensive it is to live here 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.
