Question 1

Is Mount Moriac a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mount Moriac is a quiet rural fringe locality sitting above a small volcanic cone, with outlooks across paddocks and patches of native bush that give it a distinctly country feel. The neighbourhood is made up largely of acreage properties and older farmhouses and attracts people after a rural lifestyle while still being within easy reach of Geelong and the Surf Coast for work and services. The community is small, with 251 residents and a median age of 42, and is weighted towards couple families with children (50.7% of families); owner-occupation is dominant at 88.6% of homes.

Local shops and schools are limited, so residents commonly travel to nearby towns for day-to-day needs. Civic assets include the Moriac Community Centre at Newling Reserve and the Mount Moriac Recreation Reserve, and Surf Coast Shire’s plan lists local projects such as a preschool expansion concept, park and sports renewals, pathway links and other reserve improvements. If you value open space, rural vistas and a slower pace while keeping coastal and city amenities within reach, Mount Moriac is the type of place that may suit you; whether it does will come down to how much you mind travelling for everyday services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mount Moriac?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Mount Moriac to publish reliable median house, unit or rent figures. Because of that, it isn't possible to say how expensive housing is here compared with local incomes; the median total household income in Mount Moriac as recorded at the most recent Census was $2,463 a week.

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

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rental records in Mount Moriac over the past year to publish reliable figures for how house and unit values and rents have moved. Because of that, the data don't show how the suburb performed as an investment over the last 12 months.
