Question 1

Is Lake Innes a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Lake Innes is a semi-rural suburb on the fringe of Port Macquarie centred on its lake and surrounding wetlands, so the area has a strong natural character. Residential streets sit alongside larger rural-residential lots and pockets of bushland, and outdoor life here revolves around walking trails, birdwatching and water-based recreation on the lake and estuary. Everyday shops and services are found in nearby Port Macquarie, with straightforward road connections to the wider region.

The community of 495 has a median age of 44 and a median household income of $2,214 a week, about $115,100 a year. Families are dominated by couples and homes are mostly owner-occupied (47.7% owned outright and 34.6% with a mortgage, renters 17.6%). A Port Macquarie Health and Education Precinct master plan covering the hospital, Charles Sturt University, a shared health and research campus, St Columba Anglican School and the Lake Innes Shopping Village has been adopted, and Council has begun detailed planning and related infrastructure and transport studies. Whether Lake Innes suits you comes down to whether you want space, a quieter coastal fringe lifestyle and ready access to Port Macquarie’s services.
