Suburb Spotlight: Kooringal

22/09/2016

Not to be confused with the locality on the south-west coast of Moreton Island in Queensland that bears the same name, Kooringal is Wagga’s largest inner suburb, comprising over 1500 households. Diversity and personality flourish in Kooringal which has seen over 50 years of building styles and fashions.

Enjoying close proximity to community amenities such as supermarkets, schools, sporting grounds and parks, Kooringal is popular with homeowners of all ages and family groups. Homes range from renovated, modest three bedrooms in Kooringal’s older streets to large prestigious residences in Kooringal’s Red Hill area. Thought to be a Wiradjuri word meaning “side of a hill” 1, many homes in Kooringal occupy sloping to steep blocks.

Substantial family accommodation flourishes in the suburb and Kooringal is also popular with renters due to it’s many services, amenities and proximity to the CBD, resulting in a large number of investment properties on Kooringal’s lower slopes.

Serviced by Wagga’s second largest secondary school, Kooringal High School, the area is also home to the Wagga Wagga Christian College and Kooringal Public, Sturt Public and Sacred Heart primary schools. The recently refurbished Kooringal Mall, one of the largest of Wagga’s suburban shopping centres, hosts a Woolworths supermarket which is complemented by a number of specialty stores including a pharmacy, butcher, post office and McDonald’s restaurant.

House sales have been consistant in turnover in the past decade, with 151 properties sold by Wagga Wagga real estate agents in the 2015-2016 financial year; the median house price in Kooringal for that period was $295,0002.
