Question 1

Is Poona a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Poona, QLD 4650 is a small, quiet coastal locality in the Fraser Coast region near Hervey Bay with a low-density, rural-residential feel. Houses sit on larger, treed blocks and many properties have a close connection to waterways and bushland. The community is small (576 people) with a median age of 66, and homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied, reflecting a settled resident profile.

There is little commercial strip development inside Poona, so everyday shops and services are found in neighbouring coastal towns while road links connect the area to the wider region. Local amenities include Eric Coe Park with picnic shelters, barbecues, a playground and public toilets, and the Poona Centenary Hall. Recent and ongoing public works have focused on foreshore and boating facilities, and the local planning scheme identifies Poona within a coastal precinct for zoning updates. That combination tends to suit people after a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle — retirees, families and weekenders drawn to boating, fishing and birdwatching — and whether it suits you depends on what you want from a suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Poona?

Accepted Answer

Poona's median total household income was $775 a week at the most recent Census. There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals to publish reliable median prices or average rents for houses or units here, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Poona compared with 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.
