Paradise Beach ^{VIC 3851}

Paradise Beach's house market is moving lower: the median sale price reached $285,000, about 8% below where it sat a year earlier.

Houses in Paradise Beach are currently listed at around $500,000 on average. Based on 13 houses listed in the past six months.

13 of the suburb's 91 dwellings (14.3%) were listed for sale in the last 6 months.

The three add up to the change above. These are council-wide figures from the ABS, not figures for this locality alone — this locality's own population is in the census section above.

Households face an average residential rates bill of $1,960 a year through Wellington based on 2024 figures.

Zoning sets what may be built, not what is there today. A single address can sit in a different zone to the locality around it — the property page shows the zone for one address.

In the year to August 2026, 209 new dwellings were approved across Wellington. That mix is 180 houses and 29 units. Approvals are up 16.7% on the same period a year earlier.
