Noosa is low on old favourites top 50 list and only three regions from WA are listed.

CORELOGIC RP Data has released the latest statistics looking at council regions with the highest population of retirees and, surprisingly, neither Noosa nor the Sunshine Coast makes the list.

Victor Harbor, located about 80km south of Adelaide, had the highest proportion of residents aged 65 years of age or older. More than one in three local residents in Victor Harbor (37.9 per cent) were at least 65 years of age.

According to the data, none of the top 50 council regions with the highest proportion of persons aged 65 and older was situated within a capital city area.

Queenscliffe, adjacent to Geelong in Victoria, has the nation’s second highest proportion of residents aged 65 years of age or older at 35.3 per cent.

CoreLogic RP Data’s Cameron Kusher said given this, the regions listed are typically either coastal or regional townships.

Mr Kusher said the insight highlighted within the data is valuable, particularly for local governments.

“Interestingly, very few of these council areas have a large overall population; only seven of the 50 listed council areas had a total population of more than 20,000 persons,” he said.

“Areas that many people think of as retirement hotspots such as the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Cairns and the Surf Coast of Victoria do not appear on the list indicating that these areas have become much more than just locations for retirees.”

Coastal towns are a hot spot for retirees, but not Noosa. age over the next 15 years.

Despite Queensland, WA and NT being the three states and territories with the highest proportion of residents 65 years or older, zero council regions from Queensland or NT are listed on the

“As populations’ age there is a requirement for a greater level of healthcare especially when you consider approximately four million additional persons will reach 65 years of age over the next 15 years,” he said.

“As these people retire, a proportion will look to move away from capital cities and to lifestyle areas such as those listed within the table. Catering to their desires and ensuring that there are sufficient local amenities for an ageing population will be vital.”

Green homes open day for tips THIS Sunday is Sustainable House Day with locals opening their homes to the community to share their tips for a greener home.

Amber and Brett Grimley’s Eumundi home has been listed as one of the top five homes to visit in Queensland on the day.

Designed and partly built by the couple, the home has always had a strong focus on sustainability and affordability.

“Where possible, we’ve used second hand doors and windows, locally milled timbers and eco-friendly products such as Rockcote’s non-toxic paints from Yandina,” Brett said.

“By doing a lot of the work ourselves, it’s taken longer but our mortgage is probably only half of what it could have been otherwise.”

Brett said they would open their house for inspection to show people that some design thought, effort and a change in modern expectations of housing could make housing affordable and reduce the impact that the construction had on the environment.

The house (listed as Maybeoneday) at 26 William Road, Eumundi, will be open for inspection on Sunday 11 September from 10am to 4pm as part of the Sustainable House Day event across Australia.

People will be able to take hourly tours to see how the house works and ask Brett questions. They can also wander through the beginnings of the permaculture gardens on

“We all know we need to live more sustainably, and how we build our houses has a major influence on that. The houses we build also impact on our financial sustainability. So we are doing what we can to have positive effects on both of those aspects,” Brett said.

Sustainable House Day is a unique national event that provides an opportunity for people to visit sustainable homes and see first-hand how to make their homes more comfortable to live in, cheaper to run and lessen their impact on the environment.
