What to Expect: Townsville vs Melbourne

Climate & Weather

Townsville features a tropical savanna climate with hot, humid summers and a pronounced wet season, averaging about 1,095 mm of annual rainfall and roughly 120 clear days per year.

Melbourne, in contrast, experiences a temperate oceanic climate—with mild, rainy winters and warm summers. The city’s weather is highly changeable, often described as “four seasons in one day.” Annual rainfall is much lower, around 600–650 mm, and there are fewer clear days in winter.

Cost of Living

Melbourne is significantly more expensive to live in—37% higher overall than Townsville. Housing costs alone are about 39% higher, and transportation expenses are substantially more elevated. Meanwhile, Townsville ranks as one of the most affordable cities in Australia—residents typically retain a much larger portion of their income after basic expenses are covered.

Property Market Comparison

Townsville: Housing values soared, with median house price rising over 28% year-over-year to ~$524,000. Suburbs like Hermit Park and Rasmussen have seen dramatic gains—nearly doubling in value since 2019. Propertyology predicts Townsville as Australia’s top-performing regional market in 2025, with potential growth up to 30%.
Melbourne: Median home prices peaked at ~$892,000 in early 2025, though they remain below 2024 levels. While a short-term decline occurred, Melbourne remains among the country’s highest-cost property markets.

Lifestyle & Opportunities

Townsville offers relaxed regional living, coastal access, and a diversified local economy.
Melbourne delivers urban lifestyle, rich culture, world-class dining, public transport, universities, art, and professional opportunities—but at a premium
