Vandals galore live here. After dark Banksia Beach turns into 'youth town'. The amount of damage done to residents letter boxes, street signs, garage doors and fronts of houses is unbelievable. Certainly not a relaxed atmosphere at all. Too many renters and therefore untidy house fronts. Definitely not what it is made out to be. If you are thinking of coming up here for a peaceful relaxing retirement...think again!!
Well, you are entitled to your opinion but you only needed to read the local papers. Ask our neighbours in and around our street, even up at the golf and country club. Go to the local neighbourhood watch meetings and find out what people have been putting up with.
You do realise these ratings were posted nearly 2 years ago and only now you decide to comment?!
This is MY review and MY opinion. Disagree all you like. I will say it has wonderful fishing and the beaches are great thoug
Agreed, your review and your opinion. I have only just joined this forum and I am sorry your experience in Banksia Beach has not been a good one. Mine on the other hand, has been an excellent one. We are both entitled to our opinions. Cheers.
Shane is a real estate agent and has vested interests in the area, so will have a biased opinion to sell property

I'm moving to Banksia Beach to retire early 2022 and whilst I found forums useful as a sounding board of opinions I have learnt to rely mostly on my own wisdom and planning to decide about a place. I visited, watched, listened and talked to locals in a variety of places and circumstances. I took my time and compared before deciding. For me the place is great for others it may not suit their needs
Gosh, hope you are right pauld57. We have bought a canal property Banksia Beach in readiness for our long worked for retirement in 2022. Tasman's review of vandals youthtown after dark is very concerning for us.
We just bought as well. It looks to be a nice quiet street with a lot of retired people in it. So fingers crossed. Our block backs onto the scrub. If we have an issue. Ill just get a front fence like some people in our street. A couple of German Shepherds might be a nice added feature too.
Hi Tasman, I live in Banksia Beach and so did my Mother and Father, as do many of my friends. I do have to disagree with all of what you have said. I am sorry your experience has not been what you expected.
