THE Webb family, Jesse, Tahnee, and their three children—relocated to Beerwah in 2023, seeking a balance between affordability, lifestyle, and proximity to family.
Mr Webb said they moved back from Brisbane, drawn by the town’s charm and accessibility. “We actually grew up here and decided to come back after a number of years, as our two youngest boys were quite small,” he said.
“It’s a beautiful area, it was more affordable (marginally!) than Brisbane where we were living. It’s a good place to live as you have access to everything while also being in close proximity to world-class natural beauty—mountains, beaches, and hinterland.”
Mr Webb said Beerwah’s small-town appeal and easy city access via the train line were also drawcards. “We love that it still has community and small-town charm,” he said. “It was important to be able to get in and out of the city. There are plenty of services.”
However, he expressed concerns about future development. “We definitely think there’s an opportunity to consider what makes each town here unique before we potentially become just another suburb,” he said. “There’s room for both modern suburban development and infrastructure planning that maintains a walkable, liveable environment while preserving a boutique, bustling main street and township.”
