Question 1

Is Grasstree Beach a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Grasstree Beach is a small coastal village on the Coral Sea, with low-rise holiday homes and permanent residences tucked behind dunes and coastal vegetation.

The community is older, with 58.6% of families being couple families without children and many households owning their homes outright. Recreation centres on the sand and water, with regular fishing, boating and beach walks, and pockets of bushland that attract birdlife; road links connect Grasstree Beach with the wider Mackay region and essential services are found in neighbouring towns. The state-owned boat ramp at Zelma Street was upgraded to two lanes and fitted with a floating walkway, and that upgrade is completed.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Grasstree Beach?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Grasstree Beach to publish reliable current prices or rents, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live here compared with local incomes. For reference, a typical local household earned $2,050 a week at the most recent Census.

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