Question 1

Is Rockley a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Rockley is a small historic village in the Central Tablelands, in the Bathurst region, set among rolling pastoral countryside. The village centre has older sandstone and weatherboard buildings clustered along a compact main street, and surrounding land is mainly grazing and rural residential with tree-lined gullies and quiet country roads. Housing ranges from village cottages to larger rural properties, and the area attracts people after country living as well as some who commute to nearby regional centres.

Community life is focused on local gatherings and preserving the village's historic character rather than big retail or entertainment precincts. The population is 180 with a median age of 51, and the community is weighted towards couple families, particularly couples without children; most homes are owner-occupied (95.4%). Local everyday amenities include Rockley Public School, Stevens' Park beside Peppers Creek with a playground and barbecue facilities, and a School of Arts Hall currently being restored, with a Gardens and Art Festival raising funds for repairs. Whether Rockley suits you depends on whether a small, settled rural village fits what you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Rockley?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Rockley to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. Because of that, and even though we have a Census figure for a typical local household income, there isn't enough information to say how expensive it is to live in Rockley compared with what local households earned 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.
