Pomona suburb profile

Pomona is a small Sunshine Coast hinterland town with a compact centre of timber and brick storefronts, independent cafés and galleries. Tree-lined streets and well-preserved early 20th century buildings give the area a village-like, historic character while shops and services sit close to the main street.

The locality sits beneath Mount Cooroora, whose rocky peak and walking trails are a constant landmark above surrounding farmland and pockets of rainforest. A local railway station on the North Coast line and a network of regional roads connect Pomona to the broader Noosa hinterland and coast, supporting access to recreation and events nearby.

  • Is it expensive to live in Pomona?

    At the last Census a typical local household in Pomona earned about $1,384 a week. With a median house price of $1,400,000, buying a house there works out to about 19.4 times a typical local annual household income. Renting a house at about $800 a week would take roughly 58% of that weekly household income, which is a large share. For renters the rent share is the most relevant figure, while the price multiple shows how buying sits against local incomes.

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