"Still Considering"
I have an acre block I purchased five years ago. The intention is to build a sustainable home on it and have an organic garden. Since put on hold due to work commitments.
I do agree that council rates are extremely expensive particularly for just the land alone. I understand
we are paying for world heritage too, nevertheless. Thank you for
the insight on rental properties and agents co-operation. I had enough trouble in Melbourne certainly don't need it. I can see a very slow growth here in Innisfail. Up side, no fear of another Port Douglas, Cardwell marina disaster or Mass Magnetic Island seaside apartments/marina upgrade. I accept this is the tropics,and live accordingly.
So I will watch at a distance for now.......
Great for
- Homemade cooking is absolutely beautiful. Prices are excellent.
- Wildlife and scenery spectacular. The pace is slow and free.
- Friendliness of people
- Nature, tropical weather
Not great for
- Not enough decent accommodation for out of towners.
Who lives here?
- Families with kids
- Retirees
- Country Lovers
Can't wait to get out of here!! good luck finding a job unless you are related to someone here.
A complete new council may help;;
Wonderful weather, can grow anything, picture perfect, and cheap place to buy and live, come on up and help displace the detractors
Gigantic council rates, most small businesses up for sale, decreasing real estate prices. I didn't make this up.
Affordable council rates ,struggling small business as in all over Australia, real estate prices over priced from years of slum land lording or geriatric owners , great weather, fertile soil ,grow anything, affordable housing, a few negative people still here waiting to move .
I wish you all the best. Please do plenty of research and test the water (remember what's in the river there) before giving the town your best.
Innisfail will never be another Port Douglas
