Question 1

Is Halls Gap a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Halls Gap is a small village in the heart of the Grampians National Park, framed by rugged sandstone ranges and open eucalypt bushland. It acts as the park’s service town, with cafes, galleries, outdoor retailers and a compact range of visitor accommodation, and life there centres on bushwalking, rock climbing, scenic lookouts and wildlife encounters, with well known natural attractions such as Mackenzie Falls nearby.

The community numbers 495 people, with a median age of 44 and a median household income of $1,196 a week. Most homes are owner-occupied (64.9% combined) and the population is made up of both permanent residents and holiday-home owners, with couple families the dominant household type. Recent amenity work includes a redeveloped visitor information centre and a new Budja Budja trailhead linking Halls Gap to the Grampians Peaks Trail; Brambuk cultural centre is currently closed for building upgrades while its future is being planned with Gariwerd Traditional Owners, and the Mackenzie Falls precinct is undergoing a major revitalisation, with a feasibility study into a neighbourhood house also under way.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Halls Gap?

Accepted Answer

Halls Gap's median household income at the last Census was $1,196 a week, but there haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals recorded to publish reliable price or rent figures for the suburb. Without current price or rent data, it's not possible to say how expensive housing is in Halls Gap compared with local incomes at the last Census.

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 Halls Gap a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

A strong 21.3% rise in house values over the past 12 months is the clearest movement for Halls Gap. For someone weighing the suburb up as an investment, that figure is the capital growth outcome for houses over the year.

There isn't enough recent data on unit values or rents to say how those parts of the market moved, so the house value change is the only figure available to consider here. How that fits your goals and circumstances is for you to weigh up.
