Guest lawryc Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hi All, We are a family of 4 moving to Blackburn,Melb in Feb. Would these estimates be a fair assumption of running costs as an average. I'm just trying to get an idea of what the weekly costs are for living in Melb. Any info or help would be deeply grateful? Many thanks Chris Lawry. car reg/tax - $ 42 per month Car insurance - $ 50 per month ( 2 litre,4 door) Electricity - $ 100 per month Gas - $ 60 per month Broadband - $ 100 per month Home phone - $ 30 per month Mobile phone - $ 60 per month RAC breakdown - $ 20 per month Ambulance cover - $ 12 per month Food/booze/misc - $ 1200 per month Total - $ 1674.00 per month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuju Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Hi, probably about right i'd say, although the car insurance could be a little more & maybe the broadband a little less, RAC breakdown seems pricey $20 a month, our packages at work are $87.30 & $156.30 and thats for 12 months stuju Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything seems about right, the top breakdown cover with RACV is $172pa. I would probably allow more for Electric, ours works out at around $400 a quarter. Again with broadband it depends on which package you go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
