Question 1

Is Laura a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Laura is a small Mid North town of about 765 people that serves surrounding cereal and sheep country. Its compact main street of stone buildings and a local pub anchors community life, which revolves around sporting clubs, the primary school and community halls. Housing runs from modest weatherboard and stone cottages close to town to larger rural properties and farms on the outskirts, and the median age of 48 together with a strong owner-occupier share (76.6%) gives the town a settled, owner-occupied character.

Regional roads connect Laura to larger centres and the town sits among rolling farmland and low hills that make for easy weekend drives. The council is delivering local projects — upgrades to the Laura to Stone Hut cycling and walking trail, caravan park improvements, and a $3.6 million program to upgrade and widen the Appila-Laura vehicle freight route with bridge works near Pine Creek — which are improving access and active-transport options. That mix tends to suit farming families and people seeking a quieter country lifestyle; whether it suits you depends on what you want from a town.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Laura?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Laura (SA 5480) to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents. Without those figures, it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Laura compared with local household 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.
