Hervey Bay officially one of Australia’s top spots for retirees!
We’ve long known Hervey Bay was a great place to retire – but now it’s official!
The city has been named in a new guide as one of Australia’s top five retirement destinations – the ideal choice for seniors wanting to enjoy a relaxed coastal lifestyle without breaking the bank.
The news comes just weeks after the launch of Liven Beach Road – our exciting new over 50s community in Urraween, Hervey Bay.
Liven Beach Road is challenging the traditional model of over 50s living, providing a livelier and fun-filled experience for today’s young-at-heart generation.
The country’s prestigious retirement list of 30 top destinations was compiled by Citro Australia in conjunction with AMP and Core Logic, and ranked Hervey Bay in fourth position.
With its stunning beaches, art galleries, well-maintained parks, walking trails and golf courses – not to mention free whale watching – it’s not hard to see why.

The guide also praised the area’s healthcare, social and retail options, noting that it stands out for its balanced mix of natural beauty and modern conveniences.
Citro Managing Director Ash Frenken gave Hervey Bay a big thumbs up.
“We’ve identified the kind of places that make it easy for more Australians to enjoy retirement to the fullest,” he said.
“We chose our top 30 destinations on the basis that they offer a good mix of affordable spots to rent or buy near decent amenities like a good hospital, an inclusive, active community, and plenty of dining and leisure options.
“We also ensured that a ‘day in the life’ of each location offered something for everyone – whether you’re into nature, sports, crafting, the foodie scene, socialising, volunteering or quieter pursuits. Whether it’s a sea-change or tree-change, these locations actively build community, and everyone is welcome.”

Our Liven Beach Road residents will have plenty to look forward to when they move into our new community – the perfect combination of tranquillity and accessibility with the added bonus of a warm climate and friendly locals.
The community will provide 132 custom-designed homes and an extensive range of resort-style resident amenities across a 5.7-hectare site at 115 Beach Road. Homes will be set among lush green space in one of Hervey Bay’s most central locations, just 300 metres from Stockland Hervey Bay Shopping Centre, a five-minute drive to the Esplanade, cafes, restaurants, medical services and local hospitals, and 15-minutes from Urangan Pier and Urangan Boat Harbour.
Residents will also have access to unparalleled entertainment, fitness and health amenities, including pickleball, tennis and yoga, a resort-style swimming pool, spa, gym, salon, cinema, bar, lounge, BBQ areas and even a fire pit.
Not surprisingly, the first Liven Beach Road homes are already flying off the shelf!
