Majority of workers at power stations no longer have work...its slowly dying as many folk have left for Qld etc...very little new projects on the go main st of Morwell has many empty shops or 2nd hand shops...

No not bitter at all.. I was born and bred in Morwell but left at 21 to get work in Melbourne.
I would not consider buying in Morwell at all. It's rundown and lacks infrastructure.
Anyone moving there need to do a lot of research to determine if there is adequate health care, transport, and schooling.
Too much of a gap between slum housing and new estates.
Power station closed and now APM shedding 300 + jobs due to closing of Vic timber industry.
Many travel to Melb for work but train often is replaced by buses adding 3 hrs to trip daily.
One bank left in Morwell , once they are all gone towns usually fail.
I grew up in the Latrobe Valley, now there is nasty predudice between towns... No cohesion.
It's extremely sad and forgotten by the State and Federal govts.
Could buy a number of houses there but it's a depressing town. I've got friends who hate living there and are looking to move away.
I am considering buying a home in Morwell. Are there areas that you would recommend and others that you not buy?. I think the housing prices are reasonable. I am a quiet person and will not bother anyone. I like the availability of good shopping and the restaurants appear to give variety.
This isn't true, unemployment has fallen, and people are moving here for the lifestyle and relatively affordability of housing. Although housing prices are skyrocketing because so many people are moving to Morwell. Are you someone who can't get a loan for a house in Morwell or something and you are bitter about it by trying to pull Morwell down. You have a chip on your shoulder which doesn't reflect the reality in most parts of Morwell at all.
