Suburb profile
Gunn Point is a quieter smaller community in Litchfield Council, where peace, space and a country-town pace still dominate. Retirees and empty-nesters are well represented here. Local shops, markets and community spots keep everyday life grounded in the town itself.
Everyday basics may be close by, but bigger shopping and services typically require a trip to a nearby centre. Local green pockets are modest, with bigger outdoor outings usually found in neighbouring areas. A car helps for most daily errands, with fewer amenities clustered within an easy walk.
Homes are neither a bargain nor a premium buy against the wider market. This is a mature, settled pocket where the existing streetscape still defines the local character.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.
Methodology
Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.
The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~0), extrapolated at -2.5% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.
