Suburb profile
Tully sits in Cassowary Coast Council as a regional smaller community that feels self-contained and a long way from big-city bustle. Day-to-day life leans on nearby towns and local hubs rather than the metro area. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with family life visible on every street.
Food and coffee punch above the usual for regional towns, giving the suburb a lived-in social scene. Green space punches above what many regional towns offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Daily life works well on foot, with trains also serving the suburb.
Purchase and rent costs sit on the more affordable side of the local range. An emerging neighbourhood feel is building here, with new households gradually reshaping local life.
Against similar regional towns, local dining and lifestyle amenities, plus safety stand out and the overall desirability rating is good, with community and employment, plus schools and education less decisive.

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 (~2,650), extrapolated at +0.8% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.
