Question 1

Is Taroomball a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Taroomball is a low-density, semi-rural suburb on the outskirts of Rockhampton, characterised by acreage lots, open paddocks and pockets of native bush.

Incomes are above the median for Queensland, many households are buying their homes and couples with children make up 48.8% of families. Major shopping, health and transport services are accessed in Rockhampton, so everyday life combines a countryside rhythm with practical links to the city. The Taroomball Residential Precinct trunk roads project has secured $15.5 million to construct Chandler Road West, including a flood-capable crossing over Ross Creek and a new intersection at Tanby Road.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Taroomball?

Accepted Answer

A typical local household in Taroomball earned about $2,466 a week at the most recent Census. With average house rent around $785 a week, renting a house would take about 32% of a typical local household's weekly income, which is a sizeable share. If you're renting rather than buying, that rent share is the number that matters; whether it feels expensive depends on your own income and circumstances.

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