Question 1

Is The Channon a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

The Channon is a small rural village in the Northern Rivers hinterland set among rolling hills, grazing paddocks and pockets of sub-tropical rainforest. Its quiet, country character attracts hobby farmers, creatives and people looking for acreage or a bush setting. Housing ranges from timber cottages to farmhouses and smallholdings with established gardens and mature trees, and the village has a compact cluster of local services and a community hall. Sealed country roads link residents to nearby regional centres, coastal beaches and national parks for day trips and outdoor recreation.

With a population of 325 and a median age of 48, the community is weighted towards couple households — couple families with and without children make up 74.1% of families — and most homes are owner-occupied (87.3%). The Channon is included in Lismore City Council’s Dunoon Road / Tweed Street corridor upgrade, and local projects are active too, from a canteen refurbishment at The Channon Public School including asbestos removal to planning for a shared path to link the school with the Mill Street general store and a proposed licence for part of the community centre reserve. Whether that fits you will depend on whether you want a quiet, rural village lifestyle.
