What Breeza is known for: Green suburb, Excellent transport

Suburb profile

In Gunnedah Council, Breeza keeps a rural calm, a smaller community with room to breathe and a strong local rhythm. Families and commuters make up much of the community, with a strong presence of young families throughout. Local shops, markets and community spots keep everyday life grounded in the town itself.

Local shops are sparse, so a fuller set of amenities usually means travelling to a neighbouring town or regional hub. Green space punches above what many comparable suburbs offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. A car helps for most daily errands, though buses still link the suburb further afield.

Buyers typically pay more than the metro middle for a home here. Local crime has been trending higher of late.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)

IRSD decile (2021)
6/10

ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).

What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?

IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.

IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.

A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
