Question 1

Is The Dawn a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

The Dawn is a semi-rural suburb on Gympie’s outer fringe in the Wide Bay Burnett region, with a country atmosphere of paddocks and stands of eucalypts. Housing is low-density and made up mostly of lifestyle blocks and freestanding homes, so everyday life centres on acreage living and informal bushland walks. There is no defined retail centre, so residents travel to nearby Gympie for shops, schools and services, and travel is predominantly by car via local roads connecting to Gympie and the Bruce Highway.

It is a small community of 604 people with a median age of 44 and a typical household income of $1,493 a week (roughly $77,600 a year). The Dawn is weighted towards families, and homes are overwhelmingly owner-occupied (95% owner-occupiers, 5% renters). There are no schools in the locality and no significant new infrastructure or development projects reported at this time, so whether it suits you depends on whether you want country-style space while relying on Gympie for services.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in The Dawn?

Accepted Answer

For The Dawn (QLD 4570), the only available figure is the suburb's median total household income as recorded at the most recent Census, which was $1,493 a week. There haven't been enough recent property sales or rentals to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents, so it's not possible to describe how expensive it is to live in The Dawn 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.
