DUBBO, A FRIENDLY AND AFFORDABLE CITY
Not many regions in Australia can offer retirees what Dubbo has: beautiful nature within easy reach, a welcoming community, a relaxed lifestyle and great affordable housing.
Dubbo is the largest urban centre in the Orana region of NSW. It’s usually described by the locals as one of the friendliest destinations in the whole state. There’s a strong sense of community and new residents feel immediately welcome and connected. The council offers a free New Resident Guide to help people settle and get to know the area.
There are some great green spaces to enjoy, like the Burrendong Botanic Garden and Arboretum. It has beautiful views overlooking Lake Burrendong and is home to more than 2,000 different types of trees and more than 50,000 plants.
Dubbo also has good healthcare facilities, which is an important aspect to consider when trying to find a place to spend your retirement years. The Dubbo Base Hospital and the Dubbo Private Hospital offer a wide range of medical and surgical services.
