    Welcome to the forum. Are you building to live in or as an investment? If to live there - then please yourself. As an investment it does not stack up for me - only 3,500 population (my rules are > 10,000) to start. Its a farming economy - and for me farming businesses are sucky - subject to droughts and flooding rains. I know we need farmers, and I appreciate the food they grow, but it's not for me.

    If you plan to invest, you need to come up with a better strategy than just thinking about buying land & then building, before implementing it. Stick around here and also have a read of some property investment books etc and get a thorough education so you can ask some good questions to help you develop a plan.

    @Propertunity is right bit more thinking could pay dividends here. There is a lot of land around Koo Wee Rup so what makes you think the supply demand equation will drive growth?

    Welcome @Bugruffnutz to the forum.

    Why do you want to invest in a small town? Is it budget related?

    Chat with one of the BAs that commented above for some clarity on your decision.

    May be he is buying for long term? Read somewhere that it’s a possible choice for new airport?
