Question 1

Is Martins Creek a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Martins Creek is a small rural locality in the Manning Valley, made up of acreage blocks, older cottages and stands of native bush. Day-to-day life is tied to agriculture, bush recreation and the nearby river and coastline, and there is little in the way of a commercial centre so residents travel to Taree and other regional towns for shops and services.

The community numbers 351 people with a median age of 40 and is weighted towards couple households. Homes are mostly owner-occupied, with roughly seven in eight households owned outright or with a mortgage. Local infrastructure includes a small rural primary school and Martins Creek railway station on the North Coast/Hunter line with several daily NSW TrainLink services. The locality has also been the focus of a long-running planning dispute over the local hard-rock quarry; a proposed expansion was refused and an appeal dismissed, and the quarry continues to operate at its existing scale while the operator considers its future.
