Question 1

Is Tanby a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Tanby is a semi-rural suburb on the Capricorn Coast, with tree-studded blocks, small-acre properties and a low-density country-by-the-sea feel.

Residents are largely families with children, with couples with children making up 52.4% of families, and many households are buying their homes while incomes sit above the Queensland median. Daily services are concentrated in Yeppoon and local roads link the suburb to the broader Rockhampton region; many properties back onto paddocks or remnant bushland, leaving room for hobby farming and outdoor pursuits. Livingstone Shire Council has commenced a multi-stage procurement for the Taroomball Trunk Sewer Infrastructure Upgrade Project, which includes construction of a new sewerage pump station for the suburb.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Tanby?

Accepted Answer

The most recent Census shows a typical local household earned $2,299 a week in Tanby, but there haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents. Because of that, it's not possible from these figures to say how expensive it is to live in Tanby 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.

Question 3

Is Tanby a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

Tanby's median house value fell 9.8% over the past 12 months, a notable decline in house values. That movement is a change in house values, so it relates to capital growth for that property type rather than rental income.
