A year ago, I was living in the RAAF village at Merriwa. There it was 20+ klms to Bunnings and Woolworths. Here they are within sight of my home. I had that traffic you mention. Getting onto the freeway was a problem. They were still doing roadworks which should be finished by now.

As well as the traffic, the body corp fees, which would have included rates were so high that you were almost paying rent for a place you thought you owned I sold up and moved back to Ballina..

Rates are inflated by councils having so many "drones" creating red tape to justify their existence. They are part of the swamp that needs to be drained.

Ballina Council rates wouldn't be that cheap.
Down the road from you, and our council is huge.
