Victor Harbor is in the swim

Victor Harbor is one of the tourism hotspots, and ‘jewels’ of South Australia and while property in the town, like everywhere, has been a little slow of late, one of the reasons Victor Harbor has provided solid median house price growth over the past fifteen years, is its community engagement. People like to live and holiday here and the Victor Harbor community is one that works together to achieve positive outcomes for the town and its people.
One recent project in Victor involves the proposed Fleurieu Regional Aquatic Centre. In April, after a solid show of community support, the Alexandrina Council and the City of Victor Harbor agreed to proceed with a Regional Development Australia Fund Round 4 funding application for the Aquatic Centre.
Alexandrina Council and the City of Victor Harbor received close to 2000 survey responses from the community with 72% of people saying they supported the Aquatic Centre concept plan and 59% saying they would be prepared to incur an increase in rates.
The councils will find out if their application is successful in July. They will also apply for $500,000 of state funding for the project.
From a real estate perspective, as Professionals CEO Ted Piteo says: “facilities equal families. Kids don’t get bored in towns where there is lots to do, and Victor already has a multitude of wonderful natural amenities, such as its beach and Granite Island, as attractions.”
Victor Harbor’s current median house price, as at the end of the March 2013 quarter, was $341,250.
