Question 1

Is Tully Heads a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Tully Heads is a small coastal village on the Coral Sea at the mouth of the Tully River, with a sandy foreshore, mangrove-lined estuary and a low headland that draws fishers and birdwatchers. It has a quiet, low-rise character made up of modest holiday cottages and permanent homes on generous blocks, and daily life tends to centre on fishing, crabbing, boating and easy beach walks. The nearby town supplies essentials, while the Wet Tropics rainforest hinterland offers day-trip recreation, so it suits people after unhurried coastal living rather than urban bustle.

The community is small — 354 people with a median age of 58 and a median total household income of $1,057 a week (roughly $55,000 a year). Couples without children make up 58.7% of families, couples with children 25.0% and one-parent families 16.3%. Just over seven in ten homes are owner-occupied (49.7% owned outright, 21.4% with a mortgage) and 29.0% are rented. Local facilities include a state-owned public boat ramp on the Esplanade (the Tully River boat ramp, facility CW22) and a community hall, and the suburb is included in the Cassowary Coast “Evolving with Our Coast” coastal hazard adaptation strategy, with dune and shoreline protection measures and planning guidance for future development; council has signalled it will prepare an implementation plan and seek funding to progress those actions.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Tully Heads?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Tully Heads 4854 to publish reliable house or unit prices or rents. Without those current price or rent figures, it's not possible to say how expensive it is to live here compared with local household incomes recorded at the most recent Census.

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

Is Tully Heads a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer
