Gympie homeowners and sellers near the city centre struck their own gold mine this year, with four of the region’s five biggest property price rises recorded within 10 minutes of the CBD.
This expansion of the market helped push the average sale prices of the region’s homes up 3 per cent between September 2019 and September 2020, figures from online property hub CoreLogic reveal. Gympie s best performing housing markets in 2020 were largely within a 10 minute drive of the CBD.
The biggest jump was at Monkland, where the median sale price of a house soared 16.7 per cent, from $248,500 to $290,000.
Chatsworth ran a close second with 12.9 per cent growth, pushing the medium prices from $385,000 to $435,000.
The Queensland Ambulance Service reported paramedics responded to reports of a single motorcycle crash on Bombala Crescent about 2:50pm.
From there they took one patient on to Gympie Hospital with unspecified injuries, but in a stable condition.
Shortly after the QAS reported paramedics responded to a call to an “alleged wounding” at a private Cooloola Cove residence at about 4.52pm.
QAS media said one person had been taken to the Gympie Hospital in a stable condition following that incident.
No more information relating to the alleged wounding has been released at this time.
