Question 1

Is Mourilyan a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Mourilyan is a small coastal agricultural town on the Cassowary Coast, shaped by sugar cane and banana country with broad paddocks, a working harbour and a mix of timber cottages, low-set houses and rural blocks. Life is relaxed and outdoorsy, with fishing, boating and rainforest walks close by, everyday needs met locally and larger shops and services in nearby Innisfail.

The community is small — 509 people with a median age of 44 and a typical household income of $1,309 a week — and households are dominated by couple families, which together account for 79.3% of families. About two-thirds of homes are owner-occupied. Mourilyan hosts the Port of Mourilyan and the Mourilyan Bulk Sugar Terminal, and there has been local public-works activity in recent years, including stormwater relining near the school pick-up zone. Whether it suits you will come down to whether you want a quieter, agricultural coastal setting with local port infrastructure and nearby regional services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Mourilyan?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Mourilyan to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. Because of that, it isn't possible to describe how expensive Mourilyan is to live in compared with the typical local household income recorded at the most recent Census.

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