Goulburn

"Goulburn - a great place to live or visit"

- First off, there are NO MORE water shortages. A pipe line was built several years ago to draw water from Wingecarribee Reserviour (I think thats the name).
- Homes are still affordable...for now, they have risen about 7-8% in 2017
- Aldi, Coles, Woolworths, Kmart, Target, Harvey Norman, Bunnings etc
- Plenty of cafes, restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs, a Cinema (Lilac Cinema), Aquatic Centre and plenty of parks including Belmore Park, Victoria Park and Wollondilly River walking track.
- Alot of housing construction happening with several new housing estates including Ravensworth, Belmore Estate, Mistful Park, Merino Country Estate, The Tillage and the bigger acreages near Run-O-Waters not far from the Big Merino (a gigantic ram)
- The CBD is transforming with plenty of restoration and beautification work being carried out by the Council. Its looking great.
- Great looking historical buildings throught the City, museums, golf courses, footy fields, other sporting centres, and heaps of local events held throughout the year (checkout the GoulburnAustralia facebook and other pages relating to Goulburn)
- Crime rate is very low
- Most if not all of Goulburn is NBN active
- Plenty of schools throughout the Council
- Its very peaceful with great neighbours where I live. Theres plenty of parking. Although the CBD and the Hume Street entrance/exit can be hectic especially on weekends.
- Theres an airport and train station (plus bus coach services).
- To Parramatta by car is about 1.5hrs, Canberra 1hr, Batemans Bay on South Coast is about 1hr 50min.
- The Council seem to be very busy promoting Goulburn to the government and working to attract business, and have been carrying out works throughout the City.
- Weather wise, it gets cold in winter (down to minus) and hot in summer (comparable to Sydney but less humidity), and it can get windy.

I have lived in Goulburn for about 1.5 years and I love it. Its beautiful, peaceful and I have great neighbours. Its very family friendly with plenty of open spaces, parks and the Wollondilly River walking track which is awesome. I love coffee and Goulburn has many cafes and restaurants. I have seen Goulburn growing with many homes being built, and the CBD is looking better and better. The Council seem to be forward thinking and are planning for a great future for Goulburn. The drive to Sydney is easy and Canberra is a stones throw away.


I recommend Goulburn to anyone for a visit or to live.
