Question 1

Is Shute Harbour a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Shute Harbour centres on marine facilities beside the harbour, with moorings, boat ramps and a working marina, and it sits near Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands.

The community is an older one, with many households owning their homes outright and couples without children making up 80.0% of families. Small commercial services, charter and ferry departures operate from the harbour, and boating, island access and outdoor recreation are the suburb’s everyday amenity. The Whitsunday Regional Sports Precinct master plan has been adopted for a site adjoining Shute Harbour Road and Brandy Creek Road.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Shute Harbour?

Accepted Answer

Shute Harbour has a reported median household income from the most recent Census, but there haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Shute Harbour to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents.

Because of that, it isn't possible to describe how expensive it is to live in Shute Harbour 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.
