Question 1

Is Scottville a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Scottville is a small rural Bowen Basin town next to Collinsville, a coal-mining township with modest timber and fibro houses, local shops and community buildings.

Scottville is an older community of 279 people, with many households owning their homes outright and incomes below the Queensland median. Local life centres on outdoor activity, club sport and services that support the surrounding farms and mines, and the nearby Collinsville Community Hub is under construction and approaching the halfway mark; it will bring the Collinsville Library, a council customer service centre, computer services, a gym and a community hall together under one roof.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Scottville?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals in Scottville to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes. For reference, a typical local household earned $1,058 a week 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.
