Question 1

Is Port Curtis a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Port Curtis is the working waterfront edge of the Gladstone harbour area, where wharves, cranes and freight infrastructure give the place an industrial, maritime character. Housing is in small pockets that look over the harbour and the local rhythm revolves around boating, fishing and port activity, with many residents linked to shipping, resources and related services. It is a small community of 309 people with a median age of 41; the household weekly income is $1,156 and homes are predominantly owner-occupied (35.6% owned outright, 51.9% owned with a mortgage, 12.5% rented).

The suburb is well connected by road to Gladstone’s city centre and industrial precincts and offers waterfront vistas and foreshore access. Port Curtis is affected by the South Rockhampton Flood Levee project, whose alignment through Depot Hill and Port Curtis is subject to an Environmental Assessment Report and for which detailed design work has been completed while council seeks funding. Works around the Yeppen roundabout and Bruce Highway have also changed access at the southern approach, including a new bridge and intersection changes with Port Curtis Road reconfigured to left-in, left-out.

Question 2
