Question 1

Is Stowport a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Stowport is a quiet rural locality in the hinterland around Burnie, dominated by farmland and hobby blocks, open paddocks, tree-lined lanes and a mix of older cottages and modern rural homes. The community is small — 446 people with a median age of 40 — and most homes are owner-occupied. Family households make up the bulk of residents, and daily life tends to revolve around outdoor pursuits, home gardens and small-scale farming, while beaches, coastal walks and town services remain within easy reach.

Local facilities include Stowport Hall and the Stowport Recreation Ground, home of the cricket club. The area is also on the route of a major high-voltage transmission upgrade that is progressing through planning and early works, and regional plans recommend a new controlled pedestrian crossing to link the Bass Highway shared path into the South Burnie waterfront route. That combination suits people after a country lifestyle with ready access to nearby town services; whether it fits you comes down to what you want from where you live.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Stowport?

Accepted Answer

Stowport's typical household income is recorded at $1,509 a week at the last Census, but there haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in the suburb to publish reliable price and rent figures. Because of that, it's not possible from these numbers to say how expensive it is to live in Stowport compared with what local households earned at the last Census.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.
