Question 1

Is Veteran a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Veteran is a rural-residential suburb on the outskirts of Gympie, characterised by rolling paddocks, pockets of native bush and generous lifestyle blocks. It appeals to people after a quieter, country way of life while staying within easy driving reach of Gympie’s shops and the Bruce Highway. Housing is mostly acreage properties and hobby farms alongside newer homes on large lots, so outdoor interests such as gardening and horse riding are common.

It is a small community of 959 people with a median age of 49 and a median household income of $1,302 a week (about $67,704 a year). The population is weighted towards families and retirees seeking space and privacy, and most homes are owner-occupied (about 92.7%). The suburb has been affected by the Bruce Highway bypass and the council has programmed local road upgrades, and Veteran Hall is listed as the community venue. Whether Veteran is right for you will come down to how much you value semi-rural space and a quieter lifestyle.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Veteran?

Accepted Answer

There haven't been enough recent sales or rentals in Veteran (QLD 4570) to publish reliable house or unit prices and rents, so it isn't possible to say how expensive it is to live there compared with local incomes. The ABS median total household income at the most recent Census is $1,302 a week, but that figure on its own does not show how housing costs compare without current price or rent data.

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 Veteran a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

House values climbed 31.2% over the past 12 months, a strong rise in what a house in Veteran is worth. For someone weighing Veteran up as an investment, that house value change is the capital-growth figure to pay attention to. Whether that outcome suits your objectives depends on your personal goals and circumstances.
