Mtotheb81 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hi Guys We are seriously considering moving to Brisbane/Sunshine Coast but are a bit lost in terms of where to move. We are looking for great junior and High schools, ideally state but open to private. Ideally somewhere not to isolated but not too busy! The dream is to be close to the sea but willing to travel 1hr to go to the beach. Want to avoid the Gold Coast. Our main concern is everywhere we look in Brisbane and Sunshine Coast has flood risks! We did think of Buderim but it seems very sleepy which I’m not sure will be good for teenagers. We also looked at Red cliff but seems a bit isolated and run down. Do you guys have any ideas? Thanks for your time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Where will you be working? That’s usually the starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtotheb81 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 I will be self employed as a personal trainer. My partner will be working as a nurse. So ideally need to be somewhere where I can attract a lot of clients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbye grey sky Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Perhaps worth a look at places like Cleveland or Manly/Wynnum unless you are set on north of the river. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtotheb81 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Excellent! Thanks for the advice. Is it better to live north of the river? What are those places like in terms of flooding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Brisbane City Council website, they have excellent flood maps, almost down to looking at individual properrties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtotheb81 Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Thanks guys. I have been looking at Wishart as an area, it has great schools but $$$!!! Also Mansfield looks good for schools... any advice on these areas? Where are the areas to avoid. I heard Brizzy has a lot of dreaded ‘Bogans!’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of what attracted us to the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
